July 5, 2024,VS/ Lauchernalp nach Fafleralp. Lötschentaler Höhenweg Wanderung.👌☀️🥾🌲

Today, the classic panoramic hike on the Lötschentaler Höhenweg from Lauchernalp to Fafleralp was on my agenda & I was able to hike it in beautiful weather.☀️
The fragrant meadows & spicy forests & you could also take a refreshing dip in the Schwarzsee & have a barbecue & read Lötschental legends on panels is a wonderful experience for me …

After a coffee on the sun terrace, we hiked toward Faflernalp. The Sagenweg, also known as the High Trail, led uphill first.

From the Lauchernalp to the Tellialp you can use the hiking and mountain trail that runs a little above the "official" high-altitude trail. It's a lot quieter and lonelier here.
