Wintertime in the Sertig Valley

Not only the little church and the magnificent Walser houses attract visitors. The Sertig, near Davos, is considered a region in Switzerland particularly worthy of protection. Dense pine and larch forests stretch up the mountain flanks, in spring the meadows around the village turn into a sea of white crocuses and at the back of the valley a waterfall thunders into the depths. Sertig Dörfli can also be reached comfortably by carriage and is an ideal starting point for hikes in this primeval environment. If you have the eye for it, you can also observe wild animals. In winter, some of the peaks that impressively close off the valley are the destination of ski tourers, while ice climbers venture to the frozen waterfalls.
