Day 1
Getting there : Visp - Leukerbad
Arrived in Leukerbad, check into the hotel, and walking the town
Afternoon hiking - Gemmi Pass
Walking down to the valley from the cable car station
Taking a small 'own-operate' cable car from the valley to the restuarant/cable car station to the town.
Day 2: Nice sunny day
Morning - Valley walk
Valley walk - along the side of a mountain
A hot spring along the walking platform
It was enjoyable to walk through such pretty and serene valley, and the autumn leaves added vibrant colour to the landscape.
We completed our walk and headed back to town. On our way to Luekerbad, I saw a few waterfalls streaming down the side of the mountains. Since we had time, we took another walk towards the mountain we saw.
We saw another cable car station, and so we took another cable car ride.
The cable car and view
We then headed to the Spa. It was rather crowded, and we spent about an hour in the complex.
Day 4
We check out of the hotel, and headed to our town Chamonix in France.
Even though Leukerbad does not rank high in typical must-visit Switzerland tourist spot, it is a beautiful and serene town without the hordes of tourists. I throughly enjoyed myself.
