Hiking: Stockalperweg l

ViaStockalper Package 3 nights

More than 300 years ago, the mule track over the Simplon was extended by Kaspar Stockalper. It has long since given up its economic importance to the newer road. For some years now, however, it has been given a new lease of life as a cultural hiking route.

In three daily stages, the mule track leads from Brig to the Simplon Pass and to Gondo. Experience the contrasts of the Stockalper Trail: extensive larch forests, flowering alpine roses, herds of cows, lonely valleys, rushing mountain streams, the national road… You travel with a daypack, your luggage is transported for you from accommodation to accommodation.

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 descend to the hamlet of “Grund”. Slightly uphill, follow the Stockalperweg along the rushing stream of Tafernabach to the ruins of the ancient tavern. The last metres in altitude to the stage destination are overcome in steep bends and rewarded with the sight of the stone eagle monument.

Option light: Save yourself around 600 metres in altitude and take the post bus to “Schallberg” (or also to Taferna). The post bus 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 - Gondo
After the descent to the “Gabi”, you are spoilt for choice – the stage destination Gondo can be reached in two different ways.

Hike over footbridges and bridges through the impressive Gondo Gorge. You walk about 350m through the fortress “Fort Gondo” before you leave the gorge and reach Gondo on the left side of the valley.

Furggu variant: From Gabi, the trail climbs steadily towards Furggu. Once at “Furggu”, the descent begins into the Zwischbergental valley to the hamlet of “Bord” and on down to the border village of Gondo. Stage description
