"Flower meadows, a terrace, and a lake"

A wonderful simple loop with flower meadows, a lake, and the possibility of a culinary experience. This is a perfect route for amateurs or for a relaxed, lightly technical trail experience.

You start the trail run with a descent down to Kühmatt. The wider hiking trail leads over beautiful meadows to Eisten. From there, you can either go to Blatten and then up to Telli where a tasty meal awaits you on a lovely terrace, or directly steeply up to Schwarzsee. If the weather permits and you feel like it, you can enjoy a cool refreshment in the lake. Schwarzsee is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the valley and it is worth taking a short break there. Afterwards, you continue on the Lötschentaler Höhenweg back to Fafleralp.
