In the area of the walking park, often on narrow paths, wander through secluded sections of forest. Sunny conditions are to be found even though long stretches are in the forest (up on the rocky ridge, much deciduous forest). Beautiful viewpoints at the top of the Ursifluh rocky ridge.

From the south, the route goes over the Grimsel or Susten Pass into the region. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, you can take the Simplon Pass and then Lötschberg car transport.
