Timeline
15:38
Stop by the second-hand shop for a wooden souvenir. The shop closes at 18:30, so you have plenty of time to browse before the walk begins.
16:38
Start the Planetary trail behind the cemetery. The trail is flat and marked, leading you through the Visp valley toward Stalden. Walk for about 20 minutes to reach the exposed spot overlooking the valley.
17:08
At the end of the trail, head to Fülaplatz. This park offers a clear view toward the WSW, perfectly aligned with the sunset. Stay for the golden light and the moment the sun disappears.
17:53
After dark, walk to the Terrasse restaurant. It is open for dinner from 17:30. Enjoy a regional meal while the evening settles in.
18:38
Finish the night with a drink at La Poste. It is open until 24:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, providing a late spot to wind down.
Local tip
