Zeneggen: From the village square near the church in Zeneggen (“Unner dem Biel”), we walk a few meters south until we turn right at a signpost and head up to the Biel Chapel. Photo: The church in Zeneggen. © Michael Waeber, Marianne BauerPhoto: Michael Waeber, Marianne Bauer, Rother Bergverlag
Just a few decades ago, the Moosalp was known mainly among locals as a charming alpine pass with a stunning panoramic view. In the summer, large herds of cattle were driven up to the expansive, park-like pastures, and of course there were lively Alpine festivals that drew more than just the cows’ owners. Since then, the Moosalp has become a popular destination known far beyond the region. Nevertheless, it’s still quite peaceful up here, and visitors quickly disperse across the extensive network of trails—and, of course, the magnificent view of the four-thousand-meter peaks surrounding the Visper valleys and the Bernese Alps across the way, including the Bietschhorn, remains as unique as ever!
In addition to the hike to the Augstbordhorn, we’d like to introduce a varied hike from Zeneggen to the Moosalp. It leads to hidden vantage points in the fairy-tale forest and repeatedly crosses historic water conduits (Zeneggen lies on a water-scarce ridge and has, since time immemorial, required additional water from distant streams, such as the Augstbord Valley). Finally, we pass small lakes on our way to the “Stand” lookout point. On the way back through beautiful larch and Swiss stone pine forests, it’s not far to the Moosalp pass, where there’s a great place to stop for a bite to eat. A little further back toward Zeneggen, we also pass a restaurant, and then the high forest takes us in once again.
From the village square by the church in Zeneggen (“Unner dem Biel”), we walk a few meters south until we turn right at a signpost and climb up to the Biel Chapel—a quick visit to the altar dedicated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers is well worth it! Just a short way downhill, we reach the edge of the forest and immediately follow the path that climbs diagonally to the left; further up, after a bend to the left, it leads back to a wider path and soon reaches the Chastel junction. In just a few minutes, we could walk to the rocky “Kastell” with a view over Zeneggen, but we’ll save that for the return trip and instead continue on without much elevation gain to the Diepja alp pasture. We walk between the houses and follow the trail—which initially runs right next to a ditch—into the forest, where we cross a small road and continue uphill in the same direction toward the Eischmatte alpine pasture. Now follow the signpost to the left, and after a slight climb, we reach another fork. Here we
