Lötschentaler legend route

Ten different Lötschentaler legends invite the interested hiker into the world of myths and fairy tales. Thus, every distinctive stone, idyllic lake, or seasonal mountain pasture claims its own legend. Surrounded by an impressive panorama, the hiker can immerse in these legends. By scanning QR codes along the way, you can conveniently read the legends in German, French, and English on your own mobile phone. Those who solve the tricky legend quiz will be rewarded with a small gift at the end. From the Lauchernalp mountain station, the high route first leads to Weritzalp with its simple wooden chapel. Passing the Tellialp, which invites you to enjoy Valais specialties, the legend route leads to the idyllic Schwarzsee. The route then continues comfortably to the Fafleralp, which offers a good spot to stay. From the Fafleralp parking lot, you return by car or post bus. The hike is also recommended in the opposite direction.
