Stockalper Palace

Highlight • Castle

The Stockalper Palace is perhaps the most imposing palace of the 17th century that can be found in Switzerland. Kaspar Stockalper was the builder and owner of his time, hence the name. He was a comparatively unscrupulous early capitalist of his day, who had no shame in bribing, cheating, and buying or selling anything that promised him any profit. It was the envy of his fellow human beings that at some point drove them to exile him from his estate. - In addition to the moral of the story, the really impressive castle remained, which regularly presents itself from its most beautiful side in the sunset and is clearly worth a photo. Incidentally, the best view of this is from the park in front.

The Simplon is the lowest 2000m road pass in the Alps and if you only know it by car, it doesn't seem so attractive by bike.
In fact, the old route from Brig is quiet, has great views and is noticeably steep, first over a meadow slope and then through a sparse forest. When the route heads south around the …
