Lauchernalp - Fafleralp High Trail

The hike starts at Lauchernalp and initially leads across sunny alpine meadows towards Weritzstafel. Right from the start, there is an impressive view over the Lötschental and across to the nearly 4,000 m a.s.l. Bietschhorn. The well-maintained high trail then proceeds in a varied manner through meadows, small wooded sections, and past bubbling mountain streams.

Along the way, the Lötschentaler Sagenweg accompanies the hike. At various stations, old legends and stories from the valley are told, giving the tour a special, mystical touch. Via Tellialp, the trail continues to Schwarzsee, a small and idyllically situated mountain lake. On warm days, it is perfect for a refreshing break or even a short swim.

After Schwarzsee, the path leads slightly downhill through the impressive mountain landscape. The surrounding peaks and the world of glaciers remain in view again and again before finally reaching Fafleralp at the far end of the Lötschental. The high trail is one of the classics of the region and combines panoramic views, nature, and the typical stories of the Lötschental over a relatively short distance.
