Just above the bus stop "Blatten (Lötschen) Post" and above the large car park, the route initially runs over a large area. Here you can do a few laps to warm up. Afterwards you cross the river Lonza and follow a slight incline towards Fafleralp. After crossing the bridge at Eisten you have the possibility to go back to the starting point on the valley track or through a small wood. If you decide on the valley track, you can choose a small additional loop. This loop leads you to a small ascent. From here you have a wonderful view of Blatten. Afterwards you will walk between barns back to the starting point.
