From Selden, follow the valley towards Heimritz. There is a hiking trail on both sides of the Kander that continues towards Kanderfirn. At the latest in Gantbödeli, you should cross the Kander on the small suspension bridge. The source of the Kander lies beneath the Kanderfirn, a large glacier in the Petersgrat area. The name Kander goes back to pre-Roman *kando- meaning "white, bright, clear."

Public Transport
