Lötschberg-Panoramaweg, Stage 4/4

The stage is closed until further notice. High-level path on sunny Lötschental slopes, through fragrant flower meadows and forest. Stunning views into the valley, impressive peaks and glacier panorama. Bathe in the Schwarzsee and read about Lötschental legends on panels (German). A classic hike.

From the Stafel bus stop, it is around 200 m to the starting point at Lauchernalp. At just over 2,100 m, this is already the highest point of the hike. The yellow-waymarked trail leads across open meadows and pastures. Despite the overall descent, short uphill sections provide variety, while stretches of woodland repeatedly punctuate the open slopes.

After around five kilometres, the route reaches Tellialp. Restaurant Tellialp stands directly beside the trail and is ideal for a break. The gentle descent then continues, now alternating more frequently between pasture and forest. Towards the end, the trail descends more steeply once again, leading down to Fafleralp. The bus stop of the same name is located directly at the finish. Just over two and a half hours should be allowed for the nine-kilometre hike; around 220 metres of ascent are matched by approximately 560 metres of descent.
