The Lötschentaler legend route, which leads without major elevation differences from the Lauchernalp mountain station to the Fafleralp, takes the whole family into the world of myths and fairy tales. From now on, you will also find so-called QR codes on the tree trunks. Scan this code with your smartphone and you can comfortably read the legends on your own mobile phone.
Become the legend king/queen!
The legend quiz along the legend route makes the hike an experience for young and old. Walk along our legend route and answer the tricky questions on the legend quiz. If you answer all questions correctly, you will be rewarded with a small gift! You can get the legend quiz and the gift at the Lötschental information office, the Lauchernalp mountain railways AG or at the snack kiosk on the Fafleralp.
