From Visperterminen, you can easily reach Giw by chairlift. From the mountain station, you first hike a section along the Heido water channel up to Gebidum Pass. During the ascent, you have an impressive view of the distinctive Bietschhorn. After about an hour, you reach the picturesque Lake Gebidum (2193 m above sea level) in a small hollow. It serves as a water reservoir for the meadows of Visperterminen.
After enjoying the view and recovering from the strenuous ascent, turn right and follow the high path along the forest boundary via Sänntum, Bord, Sitestafel, and Sädolti to Gspon. Along the way, you pass the Sädolwald nature forest reserve and have a beautiful view over the Visp valley and the peaks of Weisshorn and Balfrin. Your destination is the mountain station in Gspon, from where you can start the return journey.
