Gitzifurka hike

This alpine hike connects the popular thermal resort Leukerbad with the remote Lötschenpass hut – a real insider tip for those seeking the original. Along the way, you experience the transition from the green, cultivated alp area to the rugged world of the high Alps. The route leads over flower-rich meadows, through quiet forest sections, past alpine farms with dairies and a picturesque natural stone chapel.

The Fluhalp is nestled in a fascinating mountain scenery and invites with its simple alpine inn for a rest – if you're lucky, you get fresh cheesecake or a glass of cool whey. For adventurers, an overnight stay in high summer is offered here – including a wooden barrel hotpot with panoramic view!

The continuation over the Gitzifurgge opens spectacular views deep into the Gasterntal and Lötschental. The contrast between gentle alpine pastures and steep rocky terrain makes the charm of this demanding route. A special moment is the last section along an old water pipe leading to the modern equipped SAC hut on the Lötschenpass.

Those who appreciate peace, alpine authenticity, and varied landscapes will find a real highlight in this route in the Valais hiking offer.
