Leusorgweg: 6 km, about 2 - 3 hours, 260 vertical meters.
Leads along the rebuilt farms to the avalanche memorial at the cemetery. In 1954 the biggest avalanche catastrophe of the valley occurred. Blons was severely affected by the avalanches. In recent years, a lot has happened in the village. In addition to many new houses with great architecture - starting with the community center and the avalanche documentation center located inside - you will learn how the village has developed since the 1954 catastrophe. You hike on the Leusorgweg to Oberblons. Via Eschtobel you continue to the photovoltaic plant. From there via a forest path downhill and via the road back to the starting point. The display boards along the way remind you of the avalanche catastrophe of that time.
