Belalp, mountain station aerial cableway
Blatten bei Naters
The hike begins at the mountain station of the shuttle lift and initially leads down the connecting road to Alpe Bäll. Following the signage, you turn right off the road below Alpe Bäll and now enter the Antoniuswald. The path leads down into the Tschuggen holiday settlement. At the lower end of the settlement (before the large gate), turn right again and follow the signs to Blatten. After reaching the road, follow it for a short moment before the hiking trail turns off to the right again after a hairpin bend and leads down to Blatten bei Naters.
Despite the “unmistakable” marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a suitable hiking map for safety reasons, so that in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency you can quickly find a safe area.
Especially in autumn, note that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches break off. Particularly in bad weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. You should expect impairments of this kind when hiking.
Not all rocks or precipices are secured with ropes or railings. Sure-footedness is sometimes required. If you consider certain sections impassable, you should bypass them.
Sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, as well as sufficient supplies of food and drinks, are recommended in case there are no open places to stop or buy supplies. Although the trail is very well marked throughout, for safety reasons you should always carry a suitable hiking map. Bring poles or other aids.
The hike is also suitable for children.
