The family adventure route in the beautiful old village center with lots of action and fun.

At 7 adventure stations from the village to the Ried, both adults and children can experience Bellwald with lots of action and fun. The stations are very varied and include, for example, a wooden ball track that can ring 27 bells, a bowling alley for sociable bowling rounds with family and friends, and a "Rye bread wins" for a short duel in between. The stations are intended to invite movement, togetherness, and discovery, and to offer the audience an exciting day in any weather.
