Grächen is a municipality in the Visp District, in the canton of Valais, in the heart of the Swiss Alps. This mountain village is a paradise for family holidays in summer and winter. The nature village offers a wide range of activities and, alongside extensive winter sports options, features numerous cycling and hiking trails. The ski area in Grächen, with 42 kilometers of slopes, is easy to navigate, reliably snow-covered up to 2,858 m above sea level, and impresses with its unique panorama. Switzerland’s highest mountains are within touching distance. Mogul runs and a fun park complete the offering. 38 km of winter hiking trails, a toboggan run, and 23 km of snowshoe trails also draw non-skiers into the snow-covered winter landscape. Grächen also has an outstanding reputation as a hiking region. Passionate hikers value the network of 250 km of trails, which includes the forest, Lake Grächen, babbling irrigation channels, and the access point to the glacier gate. The Hannigalp at 2,100 m above sea level is the centerpiece of the hiking region: it links the high-level trail to Saas-Fee with the Europaweg between Zermatt and Grächen—the Alps’ most famous and most beautiful high-altitude hiking routes.
