From the public transport hub Fiesch, walk towards the old valley station of the Fiesch-Eggishorn cable cars and follow the Bregeraweg towards Fieschertal. After the railway crossing, change to the right branching path and hike via Gibelegg and the Äbiwald to Fürgangen. Take the underpass and hike to the suspension bridge Goms-Bridge (crossing possible for wheelchair users or with bike). From Mühlebach, you continue either along the water pipeline, through meadows and fields, or over Mosshubel past the gallows on to Ernen. Follow the path through the Ärnerfält down to the power station, cross the Rotten and return to the start of the route.
