Rosswald is a popular starting point for nature lovers and adventure seekers in the Swiss canton of Valais.
In summer, sunny Rosswald is also accessible by car. A narrow mountain road leads to the centrally located car parks. Crossing can be difficult in some places. The journey from Ried-Brig takes about 30 minutes. 

Alpe Rosswald is car-free. It is not possible to drive to the accommodation in a private vehicle! We recommend a quick and easy journey by cable car. Parking at the valley station is free in summer. 

Payment methods: at the ticket machine / Parkingpay / EasyPark

Price:

CHF 8 per day

Directions

Rosswald can be reached by various means of transport. We recommend that guests take the cable car to Rosswald in all seasons. In the summer months, it is possible to reach the Alpe via a mountain road. However, the road is very narrow. Directions: Follow the signs or enter “Parkplatz Rosswald” into your navigation system.
