Balmhorn tour, from Leuk to Gasterntal

The Balmhorn, a 3,690-meter peak, dominates the border between the cantons of Bern and Valais. The Tour du Balmhorn offers an exceptional immersion into the heart of the Alps, with its wild landscapes, historic passages and unspoilt valleys. Crossing the Gemmi Pass The adventure begins with the emblematic crossing of the Col de la Gemmi, a route steeped in history and offering spectacular panoramic views. From the hut, an unforgettable hike immerses us in the alpine ambience of the massif. Immersion in the Gasterntal The rest of the route takes us into the intimacy of the Gasterntal, a wild valley listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An unspoilt place where nature expresses itself in all its force: sheer cliffs, deep forests, icy rivers and majestic silence. The Lötschenpass The Lötschenpass, a historic pass linking two Alpine worlds, opens up a breathtaking view of the Lötschental, a grandiose valley surrounded by imposing peaks. A highlight of the tour, as much for the atmosphere as for the beauty of the panorama. Descent to Leukerbad The last stage takes you over a final pass before reaching Leukerbad, where the famous thermal baths offer a well-deserved hot bath.
