POI details
The little princes and their entourage move from Grächen down to the Bina district and hike over gentle forest and meadow paths to the Hohtschuggen viewpoint. After a short rest, your path leads back through the larch forest via Bärgji and then left through the forest past the Kneipp facility in the Taa to the Äbnet alp. From there, the descent goes to the idyllic mountain lake and then back to the village.
From Visp, take the train to St. Niklaus. There, change to the PostBus which takes you to Grächen every half hour. On weekends, a direct bus runs from Visp to Grächen. Detailed timetables for trains and PostBuses can be found at sbb.ch.
