POI details

The challenging king`s route leads from Hannigalp uphill to the Furggen and on to the Wannihorn vantage point. Your feet will carry you over gentle earthy paths and stony trails. From the playhouse below the Wannihorn peak, follow the trail in the direction of Heidnische Tossu and continue downhill via Stafel back to Hannigalp. This varied hike along the play trail with playhouses and play stations also offers you breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain scenery. With a bit of luck, you may come across wild animals.
From Visp take the train to St. Niklaus. There you change to the Post Bus which takes you to Grächen every half hour. On weekends, there is a direct bus service from Visp to Grächen. Find full timetable information at www.cff.ch
