Panorama hike in Calfeisental, Sardona area (T2/3, 15 km, +1131/-1131 m)

We're going on a panoramic hike through the stunning Calfeisental valley in the Sardona area, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique alpine geology. Starting from the charming hamlet of St. Martin, we climb an easy trail up to Heidelpass. From there, a spectacular ridge walk leads us to Heubützlipass with alpine vistas in every direction. A short detour takes us to Muotatalsattel giving a fantastic view over the Sardona region and Heubützlisee beneath, before we make our way down to St. Martin to complete the loop. Mind that network coverage in Calfeisental can be spotty.

Meetup
9:15 at the parking lot in Sankt Martin, Calfeisental (https://maps.app.goo.gl/pEnqcS1vnSJRz1RKA). There is no public transportation to this location, regretfully. Participants are kindly asked to arrange carsharing among themselves. I can offer a lift for two people from either Baden or Birmensdorf — please contact me via PM. You will recognize me as a tall bloke at brown Volvo XC.
