The hike begins in the small village of Ernen. The first section leads you through the forest along a beautiful, shaded path to Niederärner Chäller. From there, it continues along the Milibach stream into the unspoiled Rappental. The route then follows the forest edge up to Lärch, the highest point of the hike. You continue your excursion on a small path lined with beautiful alpine flowers to the breathtaking viewpoint of Chäserstatt and its cozy mountain hotel. After a relatively steep descent, you reach the pretty village of Mühlebach and the famous suspension bridge «Goms Bridge» before finally arriving at the Fürgangen train station.
Author’s recommendation
Treat yourself to a break at the Berghotel Chäserstatt, where locally brewed beer is on the menu.
