The family-friendly hike begins at Schalb on the high-altitude trail via the Embder Alpe Pletschen. Here you are sure to find Hérens cows, which are summered there. Enjoy the fauna, flora and a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding mountains. On the Moosalp, you can treat yourself to a delicious lunch or a hearty "z'Abund" in one of the two mountain restaurants.
