A visit is always worthwhile, not just in bad weather. Also very suitable for children.

Always worth it, not just in bad weather.

Charming village. A lovely loop from Visp via Bürchen, Eischoll to Turtmann, and then along the Rhone on the side road via Gampel / Steg back to Visp.

There are many ossuaries in the Alpine region, but also on the Iberian peninsula. As space in the churchyard was limited and there were no other cemeteries, the bones of the deceased were recovered after a while and transferred to ossuaries or chapels on the church grounds. Most of the bones lie in a jumble behind a wall of artfully layered skulls and femurs. Visitors should not disturb the peace of the dead.

A little scary here

Ossuary under the church, impressive memento mori

Great base camp for tours in the upper and central Valais. Simplon Pass, Moosalp, Zermatt and Santesch Pass are within easy reach, not to mention the many quiet and challenging side routes up the Valais flanks.

Flat cycle path for quick progress, the headwind is almost part of it...
