The Stockalperweg is not only one of the most popular hiking routes in the region, but also offers exciting trails for mountain bikers.
Take the Post Bus from Brig to the Simplon Pass.
Get off at Simplon, Hospiz and ride along the Stockalperweg past the Alter Spitel in the direction of Engiloch. Continue along dry stone walls until you reach the hamlet of Egga. After a short passage on the tarred road, the Stockalperweg turns right into the forest. Follow the mule track to Simplon Dorf.
Enjoy the terraces before taking the next Post Bus back up to the Simplon Pass. Now begins the second descent over the gallery roofs of the pass road. By taking the Talweg (valley path) you'll reach the Alte Ganterbrücke (old Ganter bridge) and continue to Schallberg. The trail continues to Ried-Brig, and from Lingwurm, through the suburbs to the centre of Brig.
