The Pifalwald is a welcome counterpoint to the open alpine meadows. It is pleasantly cool here even on hot summer days, the path is well shaded, and the ground yields pleasantly underfoot thanks to the forest soil. In quiet moments, you can hear woodpeckers, treecreepers, and sometimes the call of the spotted nutcracker, which is at home in the spruces of Obersaxen.
