The Gommer Höhenweg is one of the best-known high altitude hikes in Switzerland. It was opened in 1976 and leads from Bellwald via Münster VS to Oberwald. The highest point is Reckingerbach at around 1800 m. The path leads high above the Goms through forests, lush alpine meadows, and barren rocky landscapes.
