The flat terrain of the Täsch valley floor is perfect for beginners and those seeking a gentle cross-country skiing trail. The trail winds its way to the clubhouse at the golf club before heading back to Täsch parallel with the railway line. If you fancy a longer route, there are several options for adding on extra circuits. Further along the valley, at the golf club, you can either turn back towards Täsch or cross the Vispa river and do a circuit there.
