The circular hike starts in Simplon Dorf and leads along the Chrummbach to the opposite "Hittuwald". Here you are surrounded by larches up to 850 years old. In autumn, the larches show yellow-golden foliage. The hiking trail leads uphill through the larch forest. At around 2,000 to 2,200 meters in altitude, a wonderful view of Simplon Dorf and the surroundings awaits you. From here the path continues to "Hohmatta" and finally via Stockalperweg back to Simplon Dorf. The breathtaking views and the open larch forest make this circular hike unique.

Author’s recommendation

A visit to the bakery and dairy in Simplon Dorf is worthwhile. Enjoy the Italian atmosphere in one of the restaurants.
