Arrival

High in the Alps is closer than you think. From the Mittelland, you can take the train (also by car) through the Lötschberg tunnel, from western Switzerland simply up the Valais. From Goppenstein it takes another 30 minutes to reach us. In summer you can take the post bus to us. In winter you can only get as far as Blatten. Then you walk for an hour through the unique snowy landscape. An unforgettable experience.
