POI details

Away from the ski slopes, the slightly ascending path leads you from the village centre past the sports centre. Let your eyes wander from the ice rink to the wintry mountain village surrounded by a breathtaking mountain backdrop. Follow the road to the edge of the forest. Here you decide to leave the road and follow the path straight ahead into the forest until you reach the Drieri and Eggeri irrigation channels. Walk along these water channels through the enchanting winter forest to the exit portal of the magic water on Alpe Äbnet.
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.
