Belalp opens the Häxu Trail

In Belalp, the almost six-kilometre Häxu Trail, which rides to Blatten, has been opened. The descent consists of new sections and existing trails that have been optimized as part of the maintenance work. The IBR planning office and the newly founded trail construction company "vast trails GmbH" were involved in the implementation of the blue-red trail in collaboration with Forst Massa.

The Häxu Trail was built from Belalp to Blatten from summer to fall 2020. This valley descent is designed as a local SwitzerlandMobility route (no. 158) and emerged from the Belalp master plan as part of the "BikeValaisWallis" Stratos project.

This "witches' ride" covers a length of 5.8 kilometers. This includes around 1.9 kilometers of new sections and a further 2.3 kilometers of existing paths. The latter were optimized specifically for bikes as part of the maintenance work. These are natural, rather challenging single trails that alternate with newly built, fun and winding sections.In terms of difficulty, the Häxu-Trai is generally classified as red. The last section in Rischinuwald, which is classified as blue, is particularly suitable for beginners and can also be reached from Blatten without lift assistance. In addition, the "157 Nessel-Loop" is another local route from Belalp to Birgisch.
