Circular hike from Fiesch via Bellwald, Niederwald, and Ernen back to Fiesch

open
  • start: Fiesch, valley station Fiesch-Eggishorn aerial cableway
  • destination: Fiesch, valley station Fiesch-Eggishorn aerial cableway

From the starting point at the valley station of the Fiesch aerial cableway, follow the Bregeraweg to the signpost to Bellwald. The path goes uphill through wonderfully shady forests toward the St. Anna chapel and then further over meadows to Bellwald, the highest point of the hike. You will have overcome around 600 meters of elevation up to here. Cross the village and hike on the slightly downhill path through a larch forest to Niederwald. Shortly after Niederwald, cross the Rotten river and hike on the other side of the valley without major inclines via Steinhaus downhill toward Mühlebach. After a detour to the gallows where criminals were once hanged and a visit to the old mill, continue hiking to Ernen. From here, the last section leads over the old mule track through the Ärnerfäld down to the Rotten and back to Fiesch on the other side of the river.
