Hiking

On the Bergwasser circular trail, you'll experience Rosswald's relaxed, nature-loving side. Rosswald itself is a car-free, sunny resort high above Brig. After your hike, you can relax on the sun terrace or by the small swimming lake. The best way to get there is by cable car. Parking is available at the valley station and at the top of Rosswald.

Start your hike right at the mountain station and follow the blue signs toward the parking lot before hiking along a wide forest road. When the small hamlet of Stafel comes into view, you've completed half the route. You'll hike back to the starting point via the Bärgwasser-Suone, a water channel that trickles through the shady mountain forest. Along the water, you'll repeatedly enjoy magnificent views down to the striking Ganter Bridge and across the valley – a beautiful interplay of pristine nature and modern infrastructure. The trails are mostly pleasant to walk on, but you'll need to be sure-footed, especially for the section along the water.

Rosswald Mountain Village

Highlight • Settlement

Rosswald lies on a relatively narrow ridge at 1,800 meters, high above Brig. The paved road ends in the center of the village, around which many chalets nestle. Two restaurants (Parkplatz and Adler) directly in the village and two more just outside (Fleschboden and Bortelhütte) offer stunning views of the Rhone Valley and the Bernese Alps opposite, inviting visitors to stop for a break before or after their ascent.

As early as the 1950s, this sun-drenched village was made accessible by cable car. The artificial lake just above Rosswald is a popular spot, used in winter for artificial snowmaking on the ski slopes and in summer as a rest area.

Several official mountain bike routes also pass through Rosswald, such as the Valais Panorama Bike (Route 81) and the Rosswald Bike Route 780.

Bärgwasser Suone Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Bärgwasser-Suone ripples on the section from Stafel to Rosswald in the open channel through the mountain forest, a delightful section of the path. Again and again there are impressive views down to the Ganter Bridge on Simplonstrasse - an interplay of old and new infrastructures.
