ViaStockalper - 4 days (Brig - Gondo)
The Stockalper Trail, also known as the ViaStockalper, is a mule trail built more than 300 years ago by Kaspar Stockalper. Since 1991, it has been revitalized as a cultural hiking trail.
In three day-long stages, the trail takes you from Brig to the Simplon Pass and on to Gondo.
Experience the contrasts of the ViaStockalper: secluded valleys, rushing mountain streams, vast larch forests, and blooming alpine flora. Marvel at sights such as the magnificent Stockalper Castle in Brig, the soldiers’ memorial in the shape of a golden eagle on the Simplon Pass, the Fort Gondo infantry fortress, and the Sacro Monte Calvario, the pilgrimage site in Domodossola—to name just a few. You’ll travel comfortably with just your daypack. Your luggage will be transported for you from one accommodation to the next.
This multi-day hike includes more than just overnight stays—it also covers packed lunches and luggage transport. Many other extras await you, such as guided tours, admission tickets, and culinary surprises...

Day 1: Arrival in Brig
Day 2: Brig – Simplon Pass
Day 3: Simplon Pass – Simplon Dorf
