Gspon Panorama Route

You can conveniently reach the sunny high plateau of car-free Gspon by cable car. A landmark worth seeing there is the St. Anna Chapel from 1691 with its baroque carved altar. In the background rises the majestic Balfrin. The Gspon mountain station is the start and end point of this panoramic circular hiking trail. First, head north and follow the signs for Gspon Panorama Route. Along the way, you will pass the highest football pitch in Europe. After about 1 km, turn right and follow the path eastward, northeastward, then southeastward and finally northward through Sädolti, Breiti, Chiebodme, Häüschbiele, Sänntum, Bleike, and Scheidbode back to Gspon. Along the way, enjoy the forest landscape and the fantastic panoramic views of the large Aletsch Glacier, the distinctive Bietschhorn, and the Mischabel group.
