POI details

With a view of the fantastic mountain scenery, you start your route from Hannigalp downhill in the direction of the Paradiesli ski lift and hike 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 Taa Kneipp facility. Continue to Riti and then turn left onto the asphalt road towards the chapel on the Egga. This trail leads back to the village of Grächen on a rather flat path.
From Visp you take the train to St. Niklaus. There you change to the bus, which gets you to Grächen every half hour. On weekends a direct bus operates from Visp to Grächen.
