POI details

With a view of the fantastic mountain backdrop, you start your route from Hannigalp downhill towards the Paradiesli ski lift and walk right through the refreshing larch forest. After a winding path, you cross the "ski slope" under the Bärgji lift. Follow the trail through the forest down towards the Kneipp facility Taa. And continue to Riti, then turn left onto the paved road towards the chapel at the Egga. This path leads over a rather flat route back to the village of Grächen.

From Visp, you take the train to St. Niklaus. There you change to the PostAuto, which takes you every half hour to Grächen. On weekends, a direct bus runs from Visp to Grächen.
