The tour starts at the Simplon Pass and leads up to Üsseri Nanzlicka at 2,601 m above sea level. The descent into the Nanztal valley is challenging and continues until you arrive in Brig.

This challenging and long tour starts at the Simplon Pass. The trail passes Alpstafel Hopsche and begins to climb slowly. On the plateau between Nanzlicka and Tochuhorn, you will pass Undre Rossusee, a small mountain lake. This is followed by a short and intense climb to Üsseri Nanzlicka, the highest point of the entire tour. Take a break here, because the descent into the Nanztal valley is exhausting. Once you reach the bottom of the Nanztal valley, you walk alongside the Gamsa stream out of the valley. Along the right side of the valley, the trail runs above the water to Schratt and from there to Holzji.
