Tips from the Community
From Unterbäch, a dead-end road with six hairpin bends leads even further up to Brandalp. The hairpin bends are good opportunities (or excuses) to stop for a moment and enjoy the view down into the valley. ;-)

A detour to the Gibidumsee is definitely worthwhile. The idyllic mountain lake is fed by the Suone Heido canal and offers a magnificent view into the Nanztal valley. Thanks to its shallow water depth of around two meters, the water warms up quickly in summer and invites you for a refreshing swimming break. Before descending on the Giw Enduro, the Gibidumsee can be easily integrated into the tour with an additional climb.

West of Visp station, the Vispa flows into the Rhône, which in German-speaking Upper Valais is traditionally called the Rotten. The approximately 8.5-kilometer-long Vispa is formed in Stalden by the confluence of the Mattervispa from the Mattertal valley and the Saaservispa from the Saas valley. Both tributaries carry milky-turquoise water from the glacier-covered high mountain regions around Zermatt and Saas-Fee. After its short course through the Vispertal valley, the Vispa finally joins the significantly wider Rotten. From here, the water continues its journey through the Valais and Lake Geneva, before the Rhône flows on through France to the Mediterranean Sea. The confluence is also a beautiful viewpoint and a fitting place to say goodbye to the Valais once more after a hike through the mountain world around Zermatt. It impressively shows how the water from the Valais Alps shapes the valleys and landscapes far beyond the high mountains.

High above the town of Visp lies Visperterminen with its fantastic view. The place was already settled in prehistoric times, and in 1715, four villages joined together to form the present-day municipality. A special feature of Visperterminen are the vineyards: on terraces built from dry stone walls, vines are cultivated up to an altitude of over 1,100 meters, making Visperterminen the highest vineyards in Europe. Heida is the name of the white wine made from the Savagnin grape.
