POI details
The slightly uphill hike begins in the village centre of Grächen and leads along the paved road over the sunny Egga section. A few metres after the chapel on the Egga by the small-bore shooting range, the trail continues to the right slightly uphill to the Taa Kneipp facility. Continue to follow the trail to Bärgji.
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.
