When you arrive somewhere new, you always need to get your bearings and find out what's going on. Or even better: ask the locals for a few tips to find out about the highlights of the place. And that's exactly the kind of tips we've put together for you here – our recommendations, so to speak.
Fafleralp is a nature and hiking paradise. So it's no surprise that our first recommendation is the fantastic hiking trails on and around Fafleralp. And of course, even a long walk along the Lonza river is worth the trip.
Or you can go on a circular hike and explore the Fafleralp in all its panoramic glory. Whatever you decide, you will be rewarded with fabulous views.
Mountain tours in the UNESCO World Heritage Site are somewhat more demanding and tend to be more suited to experienced mountaineers. For these, we recommend the Mountain Centre with its professional Lötschental mountain guides. Their fathers and grandfathers guided guests to the magnificent peaks of the Valais, and the next generation is continuing this tradition with pride and passion.
A hike to a mountain lake is always a special experience. And we have almost as many mountain lakes here as we do mountain peaks. One of the most beautiful mountain lakes is the Schwarzsee. It is located halfway between Blatten and Fafleralp and can be reached in half an hour.
But excursions to the idyllic Grundsee, the Guggisee with its spectacular views, or the slightly higher mountain lakes Blauseeli and Anusee are also highly recommended. And if you just want to cool off briefly in summer, you will find the Faflersee lake just above the resort.
