Hiking: Blatten
All 4 lakes are nestled in rocky wild nature and quickly let you forget everyday stress.
The 4 Lakes route in the Lötschental combines all the beauties that make the magical valley so special. Wild nature as far as the eye can see.
Past grazing cows, sheep and goats, and if you are lucky, you might even spot some alpine animals such as chamois, ibex and marmots.
The path starts moderately towards Grundsee at 1850m, then rises slightly to Guggisee at 2000m. Over the Guggistafel the path leads back towards Fafleralp and Faflersee at 1800m, from there the route gently rises to Schwarzsee at 1860m.
Here you can take a dive into the clear cool water or just admire and relax by the shore of the lake watching the surrounding mountains, and then continue downhill via Eisten to Blatten.
