Hut-to-hut hike

Make your own way to Rosswald. The Rosswald Bahnen valley station is easily accessible by PostBus from Brig train station. Take the cable car to Rosswald. It’s a short walk to your accommodation from there. Different hikes can be completed on the first day, depending on what time you arrive. There’s a challenging summit route to the Folluhorn on old military trails or a leisurely circular hike with a view of the Rhone valley.

Dinner is served in a typical Valais restaurant on Alpe Rosswald, near your accommodation. You’ll stay in a shared room in the group lodging there, 1,800 m above sea level.

A rather easy route, the hike from Rosswald to the Bortelhütte hut covers around 6.5 km. After a short refreshment break at the Bortelhütte, we recommend tackling the remaining metres of climbing to Lake Bortel.

An overnight stay and dinner await you at the Bortelhütte hut. We recommend enjoying the sunset over the Rhone valley in the evening – you’ll have a front row seat on the cosy terrace of the Bortelhütte.

On the last day, you’ll hike from the Bortelhütte hut along the mountain trail towards Rothwald/Wasenalp. The old larch forest is enchanting for hikers – and not only in autumn. We recommend climbing the few metres to Wasmerseeli lake for a break and some lunch, after which it’s not much farther to the Simplon Pass. Passing Alpine roses and blueberry bushes, the 9-metre-high golden eagle monument is soon visible at the Simplon Pass stage destination. Done - after a short rest on the Simplon Pass, you start your individual departure.
