The tour starts in Blatten and takes you at first on an asphalted road in the direction of Tschuggen. This road then turns into an unpaved road that below Bäll starts getting steeper, so that the ascent becomes truly challenging. Your efforts are rewarded: the hamlet of Bäll is truly worth seeing. On an almost flat road you will then continue your tour in the direction of Hotel Belalp. From this vantage point, the vistas are absolutely unique. From the Belalp a challenging 2-kilometer long trail leads down to Egga. Total concentration on the trail is required. Finally, a leisurely, gradually descending path brings you back to Blatten, the starting point of your tour.
