Kapellenweg, Heidadorf Visperterminen
The inspiring ascent leads along some historical chapels to the forest chapel above Visperterminen. Then you hike along the Bisse Bodmeri and down through the forest back to Visperterminen.
Each hamlet in Visperterminen has its own chapel and the footpaths from the valley to the summit are lined with smaller chapels or sacrificial vines. The so-called Sacri Monti have their origin in Piedmont and Lombardy. In Visperterminen a series of ten historic chapels lead up to the “Maria Heimsuchung” forest chapel. Over the past centuries, believers have wandered from one rosary chapel to the next. Today the hike to the pilgrimage site is one of the most beautiful hikes in Valais.
The second part of the circular hike leads along one of the historical suonen. The "Bodmeri" was created in 1915 and begins in Muttji, where the water is led through a tunnel from the Nanztal to Visperterminen. The bisse will continue to be used from the beginning of April to mid-September.
The path then leads to the junction with the Niwa, an older bisse that has been replaced by the Bodmeri. The hike follows a short section of the Niwa, where hikers pass the Hüoterhüsi, the former guard house.
The hike continues through the forest and through clearings you can occasionally take a look at the Rhone Valley and the high peaks. The path now leaves the bisse and heads south back to the village of Visperterminen.
