Note: If this event is full, but the event for the 2nd day (https://www.hiking-buddies.com/routes/events/12308/) is not, and you want to join for both days, please sign up for the other event and you're welcome to join for the whole weekend.

Route: From Oberems we hike up to Bella Tola and Rothorn, and then descend to St-Luc. I will stay overnight in Wellness Hostel St-Luc (https://www.youthhostel.ch/en/hostels/wellness-hostel-st-luc), you are welcome to stay there as well and continue hiking with us the next day (https://www.hiking-buddies.com/routes/events/12308/). Please book accommodation on your own.

Pace: With multiplier approximately 1.2x compared to the SwissTopo time. This hike is not suitable for beginners.

Starting point: Oberems, top of the gondola.

End point: St-Luc

How to get there: Train IC 8 direction Visp departs from Zurich HB at 7:02. Change in Visp to R91, and then in Turtman to a gondola.

How to get back: Bus from St-Luc, though you're encouraged to stay overnight.

What to take: Regular hiking equipment, in particular comfortable shoes (hiking boots or trail running shoes); food - we’ll have picnic lunch somewhere along the way; water; sunscreen; sunglasses; warmer clothes; clothes for the night if staying overnight. There might be some snow at the top, so you might consider taking microspikes (I'm still not sure about it).

Disclaimer: I'm not a guide - everyone hikes at their responsibility and risk.
