The moderately difficult hike gives you the opportunity to explore the other side of the Rhone Valley – including splendid views of the valley.

From the Mörel-Filet train station, walk the short distance up to the main road and then continue east to the bridge, over which you reach the village part Filet. Here the path turns west again. Pass the Pfäwi district and hike uphill through the Lägund forest, past the hamlet Zen Achru to Tunetschalp. From the beautifully situated alp, follow the path to the Tunetschgraben and cross it. Through the Matt forest, the moderately difficult hike continues uphill to the village square of Termen. This is the destination of the hike. For the return journey, take the bus to Brig and from there the train to Mörel-Filet.
