Heruhubel

Heruhubel Jeizinen Wallis

The Heruhubel is an inconspicuous elevation with the best view of the Rhone Valley, located above Jeizinen at the entrance to the Lötschental. Thanks to the small mountain railroad from Gampel to Jeizinen, around half of the sometimes steep ascent can be easily covered. The tour is also ideal in combination with the well-known trails near Jeizinen.


Description

From the cable car mountain station, you cross the village of Jeizinen and climb around 400 meters in altitude to Undere Fäsilalpu on an alpine road through sparse forest. After the alp, the road becomes narrower and very steep in places, so you quickly climb another 300 meters in altitude and turn right at Alp Grindji onto the hiking trail to Heruhubel. The remaining ascent is generally rideable, but requires technical and fitness skills. Once you reach the small plain at Heruhubel, it is worth taking a look down, as you have a large part of the Rhone Valley in front of you. This is followed by a fun descent via Oberi Meiggu, Underi Meiggu and along a high-level trail back to Jeizinen. The trail is not difficult, but rides through very steep terrain in several sections. From Jeizinen, you follow one of the numerous trails, which vary in difficulty. The variant via Bratsch and along the slope back to Gampel is rewarding and offers a lot of riding fun.

We rode the tour from Lauchernalp in the Lötschental, along SwitzerlandMobility Route 41 (Valais Alpine Bike), which is extremely scenic and fun to ride.
Below Jeizinen at around 1400 m above sea level, the farmer has once again closed the trail - you have to ride straight down the more difficult trail.
