Hoi camping hikers :)

Let's enjoy the good weather this long weekend in Oberwallis and spend the nights at two nice lakes around the Simplon pass area. With a little luck enjoying the sunset, night stars and sunrise.

Route:

Day 1: From Gondo Kirche bus stop at 11:27 up to a lake under the Galihorn. T2 to T3, 14.4km, 1478m up and 295m down, easy route with late start, because it should only take about 6h to get to the lake. Once there we can settle down, and make a nice fire. From there we can go up to the Galihorn for sunset and/or sunrise.

Day 2: down to Simplon and up to Sirwoltusee. T1 to T3, 15.9km, 1112m up and 715m down, which should take 6h. We'll have to bring up some wood for a bit at the end to be able to make a fire at the lake. From there we can go up to the Wyssbodehorn for sunset and/or sunrise.

Day 3: across the Nanztal and down to Staldenried. T1 to T4, 16.5km, 745m up and 2026m down (can be reduced with a cable car) should take around 6:30h.

I'll share the gpx files for day 2 and 3 in the WhatsApp group for those joining.

Pace: Moderate pace, no need to rush with the camping gear weight.

Meeting point: Gondo Kirche bus stop at 11:27.

What to bring: Good shoes and hiking clothing, water, food, sleeping bag and mat, a tent or biwak bag, a head lamp, food for both days (we'll discuss in the group chat if people want to cook together, and who brings what, but you can also just bring your own just for yourself of course) and anything else you might need.
