Fantastic hike from Lauchernalp over the Restialp and the Restipass to the Rinderhütte station (Leukerbad)

This great mountain hike leads from Lauchernalp first on the Lötschentaler Höhenweg via Hockenalp and Kummenalp to Restialp. From here, the mountain trail climbs steadily to the Restipass at 2,626 m.a.s.l. From the top of the pass, the trail leads through a beautiful mountain landscape, gently descending past small lakes to the Rinderhütte station, from where the cable car takes you to Leukerbad.
