From the top station of the aerial tramway, it takes around 15 minutes to reach Alpe Bäll.
The hike then leads to the Antoniuswald forest. Enjoy the silence and delight in the beauty and scent of the forest. After crossing the Tschuggen holiday settlement, the hiking trail leads down through lush meadows to Blatten, where you can treat yourself to something fine in one of the restaurants.

Blatten bei Naters
The hike begins at the mountain station of the aerial tramway and first leads down the connecting road to Alpe Bäll. Following the signs, you branch off to the right from the road below Alpe Bäll and now enter the Antoniuswald forest. The path leads down to the Tschuggen holiday settlement. At the lower end of the holiday settlement (in front of the large gate) turn right again and follow the signs to Blatten. After reaching the road, follow it for a short moment before the hiking trail branches off to the right again after a hairpin bend and leads you down to Blatten near Naters.
Despite the "impossible to miss" marking of the hiking trails, we recommend for safety reasons to always have an appropriate hiking map with you, so that you can quickly find your way to a safe area in case of a thunderstorm or emergency, for example.
Especially in autumn, you should also be aware that leaves lying on the ground can hide bumps, roots, stones or holes in the path. After storms, trees can still fall over or branches can fall down. Especially in adverse weather conditions, muddy and slippery passages can occur on natural paths. You have to expect this kind of path impairment when you go on a hike.
Not all rocks or precipices are secured with ropes or railings. In some cases surefootedness is required. If you are of the opinion that certain sections of the trail are not passable for you, you should avoid them.
Sturdy shoes, clothing suitable for the weather, sun and rain protection, as well as sufficient supplies of food and drinks, should there be no refreshment stops or shopping facilities available or open. Although the trail is very well marked throughout, you should always have a suitable hiking map with you for safety reasons. Take sticks or other aids with you.
The hike is also suitable for children. The documents for Vero's treasure hunt can be picked up at the tourist office in Blatten bei Naters.
