Blatten bei Naters - through the larch forest - Belalp

closed
  • start: Blatten bei Naters (1338 m)
  • destination: Belalp

On the path from Blatten bei Naters to Belalp via the larch forest, after about half the way you reach the settlement "Egga", which has an exceptional location.

The path leads through the settlement, which nestles like a swallow's nest in a gentle semicircle on the eastern "shore" of a now marshy ice age hillside lake. A village lane, accompanied on the slope side by houses and opposite by utility buildings, leads to an elongated square with a fountain. Almost half of the houses were built in the second half of the 16th century. 

After the settlement, the path continues through the larch forest up to Belalp and rewards you after the ascent with a magnificent view of the Great Aletsch Glacier.
