Lötschberger South RampPhoto: BLS AG
The route fascinates hikers of all age groups again and again. Alpine and southern vegetation alternate – and along the way, there are beautiful views of the Rhone Valley. In addition to typical old Walliser houses, admire masterpieces of railway construction from the early 20th century – for example, the Luogelkin Viaduct between Hohtenn and Ausserberg. In the Bietschtal, the hiking trail runs on the trackbed of the old construction railway. Impressive are the old irrigation channels, the Suonen. They snake for several kilometers along rugged cliffs and bear witness to the courage and skill of their builders.
Along the way, numerous opportunities arise for side trips down into the valley or up to higher alpine areas. You can hike the total 23-kilometer-long Lötschberger Südrampe as a whole or in sections. Starting points are the train stations Hohtenn, Ausserberg, Eggerberg, Lalden, and Brig. Brigerbad and Mund are reachable as starting points by PostBus.
