    Sehr schöner Höhenweg. Von Hohbielestafel nach Simplon Dorf ist anstrengend, da es steil bergab geht .

    Ganz tolle Wanderung mit fantastischer Aussicht bei gutem Wetter. Zuerst geht es mit dem 10 CHF Sessellift von Vispertherminen hoch. Die relativ kurze, aber etwas steile Strecke bis zum Gibidumsee ist nicht wirklich aussichtsreich und ausserdem eher ein Fuhrweg. Die Beschilderung der Wanderung lässt an einigen Stellen zu wünschen übrig (Wegweiser beim See fehlt). Vom See aus läuft man praktisch eben auf einem schmalen Pfad am Hang und einem kleinen Bächlein entlang ins Tal hinein. Tolle Aussicht auf die andere Seite und den Berg im Talsack. Einige Stellen können für Leute mit Höhenangst vielleicht unangenehm sein. Anschliessend führt ein gleich schmaler Pfad auf der anderen Seite entlang, hier jedoch eher hinauf. Dann geht es über einen kleinen Pass und auf der anderen Seite nach Simplon runter. Wirklich fantastische Aussichten! Bitte nehmt all euren Abfall wieder nach Hause, danke!

    Als Alternative zum wunderbaren Stockalperweg zu empfehlen. Die Sicht auf die Berge ist einzigartig.
