Chapel path Visperterminen and Bodmeri Suone

The path begins in the village of Visperterminen and leads zigzagging along the chapels uphill. Upon reaching the forest chapel, the hike continues a bit further through the forest uphill before the Bodmeri Suone is reached in a northern direction.

At the junction with the Niwa, the path follows this old Suone for a short distance before the descent towards Visperterminen begins.

The mountains are a place of joy to share and respect. The mountain world is a place to meet and experience unforgettable moments together – whether by bike or on foot. So that all users can benefit, it is essential to share this space with respect towards nature and agriculture. Respectful behavior allows everyone to pursue their leisure activities under the best conditions. Inform yourself about recommendations and rules. Assess your own skills and fitness well. Using the various routes is fundamentally at your own risk.

For all hikes:

Carry a map. Download the complete description of the hiking trail with a large-scale map by clicking "Print" at the top right of the page. Use only marked hiking trails and consider all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect grazing animals, and out of respect for wildlife. Close gates after passing through. Act considerately towards other trail users, plants, and animals.

For mountain hikes:

Carry additional sun protection. UV rays can be very strong at high altitudes, even in cloudy weather. Plan your hike carefully: Consider the required fitness level of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions. Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unsettled weather, it is better to turn back early.

For high alpine hikes:

Inform your family about your hiking route. If possible, avoid going alone. Do not go on glaciers without a mountain guide. Observe warning signs indicating dangers at riverbanks, along waterways below dams and reservoirs: water levels can rise quickly and without warning.
