The path leads on beautiful trails through magnificent fragrant larch forests and over wide alpine meadows. As a comfortable one-day route of the Gommer Höhenweg, the enjoyable section from Münster to Bellwald is recommended. Flowers that are otherwise only seen in botanical books line the varied path through the young Rhone valley.

In the distance, several four-thousand-meter peaks, including the striking pyramid of the Weisshorn (4505m), line the horizon. The hike can also be undertaken in the opposite direction. During the hike, you pass the mountain hut Walibach. Wonderful opportunities to stop and refresh."

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

High above Reckingen is the rustic hut z'Guferschmatte. The food and drink menu is small, simple, and of course adjusted to genuine Goms products.

The mountain hut Walibach is also located on the Gommer Höhenweg at 1680 m above sea level, in the midst of our beautiful alpine world in the Bieligertal, and invites you to linger.
