Your mountain adventure holiday in Lötschental
Watch ibex, let loose at the crag, climb the most beautiful peaks or go biking:
Lötschental is made for families, with nature, fun and fresh air.
Day 1: Discover
Our youngest guests can have a great time right on the Lauchernalp. In summer, the bike trail from Stafel down to the Lauchernalp cable car station is accessible by the 6-seater chairlift and can be ridden by all ages. Transport can also be used without restriction and is included in the Magic Pass. If you’re keen for speed, take on the downhill trail from Netzbord down to Weissenried. If you prefer a more leisurely ride, take the short climb up to Weritzalpe, then ride down the Trosselruiz "imbrin". The short climb up to Tellialpe, followed by the flat trail to Schwarzsee, is doable for everyone—and a refreshing dip in the dark waters awaits. If you still haven’t had enough downhill, take the long but thrilling ride down to Steg. Here you can hone your cornering skills on the pump track. Take the bus back; it’s included with the guest card. An eventful day on the bike comes to an end.
Days 2 and 3:
Scrambling
If you enjoy discovering nature, we recommend an overnight stay at Lötschenpass. Not far from the hut, you’ll find numerous impressive ibex. Bring binoculars to watch the animals up close. While you’re at the pass, you can also lace up your climbing shoes and visit the climbing garden. There are beautiful routes here for beginners and advanced climbers. On day two, we set off early to climb the Hockenhorn, a mountain with magnificent views.
Day 4: Wildlife watching
If you don’t want to climb so high to see the ibex, take the wild hike up to Huättschuggen. From here, with a bit of luck, you can also watch a golden eagle soaring in wide circles. Chamois and marmots frolic across the way on the slopes.
Day 5: Rest day / bad-weather option
A visit to the Blue Room introduces you to an ancient Lötschental tradition. Fierce masks, the scent of goat and sheep hides, and the deep clang of cowbells – here in this house in the heart of Wiler, you’ll discover the Tschäggättä...
6. Tag: Enjoy
The Lötschental Card makes summer in the Valley of Valleys a real treat. You can get the card from your first overnight stay. It gives you access to numerous services throughout your stay. It includes all cable car journeys from Wiler to Lauchernalp and bus journeys from Gampel/Steg to Fafleralp. So there’s nothing stopping you from spending a day climbing at the Lauchernalp climbing area. We’ll show you how to rope up, climb and get back down safely.
For those who prefer a more relaxed pace
If you prefer a more leisurely pace but still want a complete outing, take the Chugeliwäg from Lauchernalp down to Wiler. Then sink a few putts at the “ufm Gschteinät” mini-golf course.
Accommodation
You’ll rarely find another place in the Alps where you can stay so close to the mountains. Our Chalet Spali on Lauchernalp sleeps up to 6 people. It’s easy to reach by car or train (just a few minutes’ walk from the mountain station) and makes the perfect base for your climbing or biking trips.
