SAUTENS -> Kreuzkapelle -> blue winter path -> through the Forchet -> back to the Kreuzkapelle -> SAUTENS
Start is the Kreuzkapelle Sautens (sports field). Then about 300 meters along the road towards Roppen. There the path turns right into the forest. Beautiful hike through the Forchet nature reserve to a beautiful viewpoint with a view of the Tschirgant. Circular hike back to the Kreuzkapelle.
