25) Grächen – Gobe – Bärgji

Your route starts at the village square and leads you along the paved road past the valley station of the Hannigalp cable car, gently ascending towards the chapel at Egga. Shortly before, you leave the road and follow the hiking trail signs to the left. You walk along lush meadows and follow the path guidance until Bärgji. If you continue on the path after the sharp right turn to the restaurant Bärgji-Alp, you will return to the village following the road.

From Visp, take the train to St. Niklaus. There, transfer to the PostBus, which takes you to Grächen every half hour. On weekends, a direct bus runs from Visp to Grächen. You can find detailed timetables for trains and PostBuses at sbb.ch.
