Törbel

Show map

Situated on a south-facing slope high above the Visp Valley, Törbel is one of the few authentic Valais mountain villages: centuries-old sun-scorched enclosed houses, narrow passageways, traditional artisanal labour at the water mill, a rift saw and churn at the village stream.

The Moosalp lies about 500m above Törbel, and much its high moor and low moor biotopes are under protection. But the Moosalp also offers many activities for winter sports enthusiasts, as well as a broad network of hiking trails. And during the summer it is the home of a popular alpine festival.

Tarns and moors on the Moosalp

In summer the area of Moosalp offers you an extensive network of hiking paths. Especially popular is the "Stand" viewpoint, which offers an outstanding view of the surrounding Valais and Bernese 4000-metre peaks. Picturesquely nestled below the "Stand" lies the Bonigersee. The tarn is covered by thick mossy areas and is a nature reserve, but a hiking trail leads most of the way around it. The protected region covers an area of 1.5 square kilometres with 11 different types of moor land, including high and flat moors, some of which are national natural preservation sites.
