Above Fiesch starts the path along the Fieschertal valley to "Titter." There the Aspi-Titter suspension bridge stretches over the 120 m deep Weisswasser gorge. The view from the 160 m long suspension bridge into the depths is impressive. Tip: Enjoy a break before crossing at the "Titterhütte." Well fortified, the short but steep climb after the bridge becomes easier. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required on this section, up to the highest point of the hike! From there you hike to Bellwald and further downhill via Fürgangen to the second suspension bridge of this route: The 280 m long Goms Bridge crosses the wild Rotten, which cuts its way 92 m below. On the other side of the valley, you will find restaurants in Mühlebach where you can recharge for the final stage of the 6-hour circular hike. This leads you back over Ernen to Fiesch.
