Hiking
The modern bridge over the Rotten connects the two banks of the Rhône valley and, in addition to the roadway, has a separate cycle path and footpath. From here, a wide view opens up downstream. On the left bank, the Vispa flows into the Rotten, bringing the milky-turquoise glacier water from the Mattertal and Saas valley into the largest river in Wallis.
The surrounding mountains and the broad Rhône valley shape the landscape. Despite the nearby traffic and commercial facilities, this viewpoint impressively conveys the vastness of the main Wallis valley and the confluence of two important Alpine rivers.
