    From the mountain station of the Bettmeralp cable car, walk eastward through the village to Seilpark Baschweri: here is the start of the themed route Herbal Path, which Nina Brechbühl independently created as a final project for Kollegium Brig. First follow the fairly flat path past Seilpark Baschweri to Martisbergeralp. After about 30 minutes walking time, the route makes a 180° turn back west. After a gentle ascent it levels out again and you now hike towards Alte Stafel. From there, follow the downhill path past the Möriken-Wildegg group house back to the starting point. Pure walking time approx. 1 hour.
