Use of the hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. On-site conditions may cause route changes. 

Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signs and instructions – for your own safety, to protect farm animals, and without disturbing the peace of wildlife. 

Be considerate to other trail users and the landscape. Take your rubbish and others’ rubbish with you. • Carry sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even in cloudy weather. 

Plan your hike carefully: consider the fitness level of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions. 

Weather conditions can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. Return early if the weather is unstable. 

Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide. 

Observe warning signs that indicate dangers. 

Inform third parties about your tour and, if possible, never go alone. 

Pay attention to the opening times of the mountain railways.

By car, the Saastal valley is easily and conveniently accessible from all directions, whether from Switzerland or abroad. From the north, you reach us via Bern through the Lötschberg car shuttle.

From the south, we are accessible via the Simplon Pass or Simplon car shuttle and from the west you drive via Lausanne along the Rhone valley to Visp and from there in the direction of Saas-Fee.
