The early bird catches the worm, or in the case of the Täsch Panorama Trail, the sunshine, as it sets early in winter, leaving the valley wrapped in the mountains’ shadowy embrace. The trail heads across wide snowy expanses on the valley floor before following the edge of the forest. After crossing the bridge over the Vispa river, the route climbs into picturesque mixed forest and then finally reaches an altitude of about 1,500 m, revealing magnificent views.
- Suitable for children aged 6 upwards
- Breathtaking views of the Mischabel mountains, including the Täschhorn and the Dom
- View of Täsch and Randa
