Dala Gorge – Thermal Springs Bridge

Less than one kilometre from the village square the Thermal Springs Footbridge crosses the Dala Gorge of Leukerbad. The footbridge is almost 600 metres long and stands four metres above the riverbed. The powerful waters beneath are impressively close. Brown traces of rust on the surrounding rock faces indicate that there is iron in the thermal waters. Following moss-covered cliffs, hikers cross a 21-metre-long bridge to a 35-metre-high waterfall. On the way back, you bypass the gorge on the northern or southern side to get back to the Heilbadbrücke (healing bath bridge).

Hiking path on the Via Dala between Leuk and Leukerbad, Valais
Historic routes

Via Dala - two contemporary witnesses

In the „Dalatal“ between Leuk and Leukerbad, two unique paths testify to the region’s history: the aim of the paths equipped with ladders was to avoid obstacles such as rocks and cliffs on their way. In order to supply the bathers in Leukerbad with groceries, the inhabitants had to use the legendary „Albinenleitern“ for transports. On the other side of the valley, the „Varner Leitern“ reduced the traveling time of the guests arriving from the west of Valais. Famous writers and poets such as Goethe caused the ladder paths to become known far away. These precursors of the modern Via Ferrata nowadays are still worth visiting and an unforgettable experience.

Following the path of ancient peasants, we return to the stadium of the Alps, Leukerbad, the biggest spa in Europe surrounded by impressive rock walls. At Lötschental with its typical masks we climb the Lötschenpass, the oldest pass between Valais and Berne, a really interesting geological area with exceptional flora and fauna. The descent to Kandersteg reveals a wild and romantic valley. We return to Valais via Lenk and Iffigenalp taking us to the Rawyl pass.
