Moosalp Panoramaweg

This excursion takes you high above the Rhone Valley to Moosalp. Surrounded by numerous mountain giants such as the Bietschhorn, the Weisshorn and the Mischabel group with the Nadelhorn, Dom and Täschhorn, the region is perfect for hikes and excursions. Take a bus from Visp to the upper plateau where this panoramic circular trail starts. Make the Bürchneralp your first stop and enjoy a little raclette and other Valais specialities at the Panorama restaurant which lives up to its name with a magnificent terrace. Take another break at the small but beautifully landscaped Breitmattu Lake and capture the breathtaking scenery on camera. The highlight of the circular trip follows at the "Stand" viewpoint. This can be reached via various narrow paths and is one of the most popular places on Moosalp from which you can enjoy a view of the Bernese and Valais Alps and 4000-metre peaks.

Moosalp is the start and end point for this circular hike. The upper plateau can be reached by bus from Visp via Bürchen or Stalden via Törbel. The trail initially leads past an Alpine stable and then out into the region’s unique landscapes. Once you reach Bürchneralp, the trail initially ascends gently before descending to the hamlet of Ledi. This is where the ascent to Beitmatte, a large clearing, begins. After the large stone house, turn off onto the path to Breitmattusee and continue to Boningersee (although the latter is more of a bog). The highlight of the hike follows in the form of the "Stand" viewing platform with its unique panoramic view, before tackling the last section back to Moosalp.

Via Visp – Bürchen or Stalden – Törbel. It is worth changing to public transport in Visp or Stalden (see public transport details).
