It is also possible to take the PostBus from Brig to Termen and start the hike from Termen, village square. After about an hour of walking, you are well warmed up and reach the old slate mountain of Termen. From here begins the ascent that defines the hike. The path winds diversely up the ridge. First, the view slides towards the Aletschhorn, which presents itself from Termen in probably its most beautiful aspect. Later, the hiker overlooks the Rhone Valley with the alpine towns of Brig-Glis and Naters in the foreground. Soon you reach the recreational area at z’Gartu. There are huts and tables where you can take a short rest. The fountain supplies hikers with fresh mountain water. The hiking trail ascends gently along the gravel road and then turns left into the forest. Now begins the exciting ascent. Along the Tunetschgraben, the path climbs over 500 meters in elevation over the next 2.5 kilometers. You reach **Mattalpji**. Formerly used as a fore-alp, the pasture has been fallow for several years. Still visible are fountains and old water pipes that supplied the alp with water from the Tunetschgraben. There is a bench in the clearing where you can rest. The spot is also ideal for a lunch break. From Mattalpji, you hike another two kilometers to the highest part of the hike, the cross on the Kläna. This involves climbing another 450 meters in elevation. At Kläna, the hiker is rewarded with a breathtaking view. You can let your gaze wander from the Wasenhorn in the south, across the Simplon Pass, the summit of the Matterhorn to the Glishorn into the Rhone Valley. On the right side of the Rhone Valley, beyond Belalp, Riederalp, and Bettermalp, you look further up into the high valley of Goms.
