Naturpark Pfyn-Finges - The walk starts in Albinen. The trail is prepared with a machine and is about 2.5m wide. The walk can be done without any problem if you have good winter shoes. The superb views over the Rhone valley can be enjoyed all the way to Feschel.
Take the bus from Leuk railway station to Albinen post office bus stop. It is worthwhile to take some time in Albinen to wander through the attractive village centre, a site of national importance. A little refreshment in one of the village restaurants helps to start your walk of properly.
The actual hiking trail starts in the north west, somewhat above the village. The trail is prepared with a machine in winter and is about 2.5m wide. The walk can be done without any problem provided you have good winter shoes.
With a gentle ascent you walk through snow-covered woodland eastwards to the burnt forest. Cast a glance towards the sky now and then, since Golden Eagles are often observed in this area. The tracks in the snow are indicative of hares and deer, which with a lot of luck can also be sighted in daytime.
The superb view over the Rhone valley can be enjoyed all the way to Feschel! Afterwards you ride back to the valley with the bus.
