View towards BürchenPhoto: Unterbäch Tourismus, Valais/Wallis Promotion
The 200 meters of ascent and descent are each spread over six kilometers and therefore represent no great challenge for hikers.
Author’s recommendation
Every Wednesday, a sports bus runs by prior registration, shuttling between the municipalities of Eischoll and Unterbäch.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Use of the winter hiking paths and the information on this website is at your own risk. On-site conditions may cause changes to the route. Valais/Wallis Promotion assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.- Carry a map with you. Download the complete description of the hiking trail along with a large-scale map by clicking "Print" at the top right of the page.
- Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect livestock, and to avoid disturbing wildlife.

- Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, turn back early.
- Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
- Observe warning signs indicating dangers, especially avalanche risk.
