POI details

From Grächen, your path leads you after the Millegga car park across the lush meadow down to the Bina. Cross the road there and follow the sign towards Hohtschuggen. The metres of altitude you have walked down so far go up again in the section of the trail ahead of you. The slightly ascending trail takes you past historic Valais barns, across lush meadows and through the refreshing larch forest to the Hohtschuggen viewing point.

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. Find full timetable information at www.cff.ch
