The Lötschental Legend Trail is ideal for families and takes hikers and walkers from the Lauchernalp mountain station up to the Fafleralp. Ten different legends on tree trunks take hikers into a mysterious world of myths and fairytales. Each distinctive stone, idyllic lake or mountain hut has its own legend and, against this impressive backdrop, hikers can learn about these legends. So-called QR codes can now be found on the tree trunks. If you scan these codes with your Smartphone (QR scanner apps can be downloaded free of charge in the App Store or Google Play Store), you can also read the legends in English, French and German conveniently on your own mobile phone.

 

Become the King or Queen of the Legends!
Do you want to hike, have fun and learn something new? Walk along the Legend Trail and answer the tricky questions in the Legend Quiz. You will be rewarded with a small gift if you manage to answer all of the questions correctly! Visit the Lötschental Tourist Information Office, the Lauchernalp cable car or the Fafleralp Snack Bar to obtain a copy of the quiz and receive your gift. Order a free copy of the "Legend Quiz" flyer from the Lötschental Tourist Information Office or online at www.loetschental.ch/prospekte

Guten Tag Der Weg und das Quiz kosten nichts. Einzig die Bahnfahrt müssten Sie bezahlen. Das Quiz erhalten Sie im Tourismusbüro oder bei der Bergbahn.
