For your exciting treasure hunt, first get a Gletschi's treasure map at the Infocenter in the public transport hub in Fiesch (open Monday to Saturday)! You need this to solve the riddles along the trail. Then you’re ready to go: follow the Kirchweg and hike along the Gogwärgiweg themed trail into the approx. 2.5 km distant Fieschertal. Then return to Fiesch via the Bregeraweg. Along the approximately 5.7 km long route, you will repeatedly encounter Gogwärgini—hand-carved wooden dwarfs that indicate one of the eight riddle stations. Now it's time: take out your treasure map and solve the riddles! Have you solved all the riddles? Then you should be able to find the solution word. Good luck!
