Lengmatta-Weg
Overview
Intro
Discover the landscape of Davos and the original hamlets of Frauenkirch and Glaris ond this easy winter hiking trail, walking past tipical houses of the Walser.
Description
The starting point of the winter hiking trail is Davos Frauenkirch railway station, which can be reached in a couple of minutes from Davos Platz. The part of the village known as Frauenkirch is named after the reformed church of Our Lady, meaning Mary, the mother of Jesus. The church was built in the mid-14th century, shortly after the settlement of the Walsers in the 13th century.
The trail passes the homely Gasthof Landhuus and a few metres further on branches to the right towards Lengmatta. From here, it rises gently along the Lengmattastrasse passing beautiful Walser houses. When the Walsers came from the distant canton of Valais to settle in the Landwasser valley, they brought their own language and architectural style with them. Farmhouses with a traditional block design can be seen throughout the Lengmatta trail.
The winter hiking route continues for another 10 minutes or so to a crossroads where it branches to the right along the Chummastrasse. The trail now follows the rushing Chummerbach stream, passing through a small wood to the small hamlet of Hitzenboden with wonderful views across the Landwasser Valley. Several hundred metres further downhill, you will come to a junction at which the trail continues downhill towards Davos Glaris.
