- Description
-
The cable car takes you from Blatten near Naters to Chiematte on the Belalp. First head in the direction of the hotel/restaurant Hamilton Lodge. A little further down, at the large stables, the path turns left into the Wolfstola. Follow this path until you reach the top station of the aerial cableway.
Either walk ahead to the "Loch" and then walk up to the mountain station or turn off earlier and also arrive at the mountain station.
Why not enjoy a fine coffee at the top station in the Tyndall Hut or in the Aletschhorn Restaurant and enjoy the beautiful view over the valley and to Blatten.
Recharge your batteries and then take the connecting road back down to the mountain station or gondola lift. Alternatively, of course, you can also use the aerial cableway to get to Blatten.
