  • Rotten-Weg Bitsch–Lalden

Passing through Naters, walkers encounter the World Nature Forum, a centre dedicated to nature conservation, before the path continues alongside the river to Lalden.

  • Rundweg Brigerberg

  • Aletsch Panoramaweg

    51.2 km · +2756 m

    A high-altitude ridge walk above the Great Aletsch Glacier — the largest glacier in the Alps, stretching 23 kilometres — the Panoramaweg runs from Bettmerhorn down to Fiescheralp, keeping the glacier's massive ice surface and surrounding 4,000-metre peaks in constant view.

  • Nieschbord - ?

    5.2 km · +533 m

    The trail climbs from Ried-Mörel through roads and meadows to a panoramic ridgeline path, with a signpost in the village pointing the way toward Nieschbord. From the height of the Panorama-Höhenweg, walkers are rewarded with a sweeping all-round view over the surrounding peaks.
