The Cultural Trail in the Lötschental takes visitors through one of the most beautiful mountain valleys in the Swiss Alps and offers a perfect alternative to the busier Alpine Trail.
The culture trail follows the course of the Lonza - a detour to the villages on the north side of the Lonza is worthwhile.

There is plenty to discover there: Ferden, the first village in the Lötschental, beckons with its old village centre, whose buildings date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Kippel, the unofficial cultural capital of the valley, which is home to the Lötschental Museum. The mountain village of Wiler, which lies at 1419 m above sea level in the heart of the Lötschental. In Blatten, it is worth taking a detour to the historic Säge-Mühle-Walche, among other things.
