How does Heidi end?

Heidi ends with Clara walking — supported by Grandfather, cheered by Heidi and Peter — and returning to Frankfurt healed, while Heidi stays on the alp with Grandfather. Partings are tender: friendships proven, Deta’s schemes rejected, Grandfather secure in community.

The finale rewards faith and outdoor life without denying city ties. Clara’s first steps on the mountain answer Frankfurt doctors’ doubts; Heidi’s joy is for her friend, not for leaving her. Spyri closes on reunion promised: Clara will visit again. Students should tie ending to Clara’s healing arc and Heidi’s permanent home, not only plot summary.
