Above the treeline, on a terrace created by a glacier, you soon discover the sun-spoilt Alps of the Lötschen Valley: Kummenalp, Hockenalp, Lauchernalp, Weritzalp and Tellialp.
From the attractive Wiler village in the Lötschen Valley, a cable car takes the bite out of the 570-meter climb in altitude to the Lauchernalp – where a small and pleasing holiday resort with mountain guesthouses and chalets has slowly developed.
