Mountain tour in Vals: Hohbüel 2462mVideo: Outdooractive – 3D Videos
Much more than just a "Büel": Hohbüel is a quietly situated and easily accessible lookout peak in the midst of the spectacular Vals mountains.
Already visible from the valley floor, Hohbüel towers proudly above the wide expanses of Alp Selva and thus characterises the townscape. As the foremost peak of an independent mountain range in the rear Vals valley, its central location and moderate altitude make it a constantly attractive vantage point.
Author’s recommendation
After successfully climbing the summit, an additional highlight is a short detour to the nearby Selva Lake.

Continue uphill through the Marcheggawald forest to Heinisch Stafel above the timberline (2041 m, 1 hr. 15 min.). From there for 45 min on the hiking trail towards Selvasee until Hohbüel comes into view.
Finally, hike for another 45 min. pathless over easy terrain directly towards Hohbüel and pleasantly ascend via the northeast ridge to the summit with a magnificent view of the surrounding Vals mountains.
