POI details

From Hohtschuggen, your gaze sweeps over the fantastic mountain panorama before you follow the hiking trail steeply downhill through the refreshing larch forest. You will spend the main part of this tour on the gentle forest floor until you reach Stalden. Here you cross the asphalt road and follow the signpost further downhill. At the bottom, a small bridge leads you over the raging Vispa and from there you hike upwards towards Stalden Saas railway station.

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.
