Valais Alpine Bike 5. Brig - Wiler (Lötschen)

From Raron (Rarogne) railway station, take the cable car up to the charming village of Eischoll. From here, you can choose to reach Striggen by road or by chairlift, which operates during the summer season from late June to mid-August. An ascent leads to the ‘Tschorr’ mountain pasture, dominated by a view of the Bietschhorn. This is where the Lunggi Trail begins, an exceptional single trail that descends through the Färichwald forest, crossing roads and hamlets, before reaching Lunggi and Gampel-Steg station* after a 1,100-metre descent. Cross the Rhône Valley to Gampel, where the cable car to Jeizinen departs. The ascent to Feselalp (where there is a pleasant refreshment bar) begins here, before continuing towards Heruhubel, the highest point of the leg at 2,311 metres above sea level. The single trail that follows is fast and smooth at first until Oberi Meiggu, then steeper and more technical before entering the forest. The long descent on the trail leads to Ferden, the first village in the Lötschental, then to Wiler via Kippel, featuring alpine landscapes and historical heritage.
