For this exciting treasure hunt, pick up a copy of Gletschi’s Treasure Map at the Information Centre in the public transport hub in Fiesch (open Mon to Sat)! You’ll need this to solve the puzzles along the trail. Then you’re all set to go: head off along Kirchweg, then follow the Gogwärgiweg themed trail to the Fieschertal valley, a distance of approx. 2.5 km. You return to Fiesch via the Bregeraweg trail. Every now and then along the 5.7 km trail, you’ll come across Gogwärgini – hand-carved wooden dwarfs that let you know that you’re at one of the eight puzzle stations. That’s when you get out the treasure map and solve the puzzle! Have you solved all eight puzzles? Then you shouldn’t have any difficulty working out the code word. Good luck!
