The starting point of the themed trail is the mid-station of the Fiesch-Eggishorn cable car on the Fiescheralp. The Gogwärgiweg leads downhill over the historic Herrenweg to Fiesch, located 1,150 m lower. Along the way, you hike in the footsteps of the Gogwärgini – small, hardworking dwarfs said to have once lived throughout Upper Valais: At ten Gogwärgi stations, adults and children are entertained with traditional Gogwärgini stories and can playfully uncover many natural secrets. A highlight of the varied trail is the Gogwärgiturm tower, which you pass halfway. According to legend, the Gogwärgini of Fiesch once lived in this stone pyramid.
