Hike & daily schedule

Day 1
Arrival
Individual journey to Brig. Explore the old town of Brig and visit the magnificent Stockalper Castle.
Day 2
Brig - Simplonpass
Hike via Ried-Brig to “Schallberg” and along the historically restored “Talweg Ganter” through the Ganter Valley towards Rothwald. Above Mittubäch, the route leads into the Tafernatal valley to the ruins of the former inn. The final climb to the end of the stage is tackled via steep bends and rewarded with a sighting of the golden eagle.

Light option: Save yourself around 600 metres of elevation gain and take the PostBus to “Schallberg” (or Eisten, Ganterbrücke or Rothwald, mountain hut). The PostBus ticket is included in the price
Day 3
Simplonpass - Simplon Dorf
Past numerous alpine huts, dry-stone walls and cows, after 2.5 hours you will see the Italian-style Simplon village. A visit to the Ecomuseum in the “alten Gasthof” (old inn) and a short detour to the “Arnold” bakery and the Simplon alpine dairy are highly recommended.
Day 4
Simplon Dorf - Zwischbergen
The stage destination of the third day can be reached on two different routes. After the descent to “Gabi”, the trail branches off in the direction of the Gondo Canyon or Furggu.

Variant Gondo Canyon: Over bridges, metal footbridges and the galleries of the national road, you reach Fort Gondo through the Gondo Gorge. The Stockalperweg leads 350m through the fort. After a short breather in the border village of Gondo, the last 5km into the wild and romantic Zwischbergental can be easily managed.

Furggu variant: From Gabi, the trail climbs steadily towards Furggu. Over alpine meadows and past prayer sticks, through wooded and open terrain, this variant is in stark contrast to the Gondo Gorge. Once at “Furggu”, the descent into the Zwischbergental valley begins to the hamlet of “Bord”.
Day 5
Zwischbergen - Bognanco
The path from the Zwischbergental valley up to the Monscera Pass is steep. The numerous natural steps seem to go on forever. At the top, however, the view of the surrounding mountain peaks makes the exertions of the climb well worth it. This is followed by a descent across pastures, past moors and small mountain lakes, down to the scattered village of Bognanco.

The hike begins either in Gondo or Zwischbergen, depending on the route chosen the previous day. It is possible and recommended to take the on-demand bus (booking required the day before) from Gondo to Zwischbergen. This stage of the hike is a real challenge! Taking the bus shortens the route by 5 km / around 500 metres of elevation gain.
Day 6
Bognanco - Domodossola
From Graniga, descend along beautiful trails to Bognanco Fonti as far as Pregliasca. From here you walk first along the slope past small streams, then on a steep footpath in the woods down to Monte Ossolano and later on a wide and well-maintained paved path to Domodossola.
Day 7
Domodossola
Discover the enchanting Italian town of Domodossola.

Tipp: Enjoy a café in the Piazza Mercato and stroll through the Piedmontese town of Domodossola before travelling home.
