Since 2008, Brig has been counted among the Alpine towns. On the hike, we discover sights from Brig and learn about ideas planned for the recreational area in Grindji.

We hike uphill along the Saltina over the Napoleonsbrücke into the Grindji recreational area, then continue ascending towards the high plateau at Brigerberg and finally reach the Lingwurm. Afterwards, we descend via Moos back to the Stockalper Palace in Brig.
