The attractive winter hiking trail leads into the sunny and panoramic area of Chastebiel. The ascent is made from Blitzingen on a gentle gradient past the two dreamy hamlets of Ammeren and Wiler.
The pause on the Chastebiel is worthwhile. From here you have a fantastic view of the entire Goms high valley. On the now wooded hill stands the ruins of the pilgrimage site Maria vom Guten Rate, which was destroyed by an earthquake.
On the low-traffic access road, you return to Blitzingen via several hairpin bends.

Safety guidelines
Take a map with you or download the complete description of the route with a large-scale map. Use only signposted paths and observe all markings and signs - for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape and in respect for wildlife. Be considerate of other users. Take your rubbish and that of others with you.
Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Adequate clothing and provisions (food and drink) are very important. If the weather is unstable, it is better to turn around early. Carry additional sun protection with you. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, especially in winter, even when the sky is overcast.
Plan your tour carefully and in detail. Inform yourself in advance about the current conditions (avalanche danger, cross-country ski runs, winter hiking trails, snow trails and road conditions) and weather conditions. The winter sports report provides you with valuable information from the region.
