7 hour T3 (T4-?) round tour into Erstfelder Valley and back, with stunning views all around. It starts with the Hofstetten-Wilerli gondola that you can operate yourself. That was great, no need to wait, and a bit of an adventure, you find the payment info once you arrive in Wilerli (cash, Twint or remittance). From here, you take the way straight up until you arrive on the upper panorama path. It’s marked blue, because of the way it falls away steeply on the left, but if you have a head for heights, it’s really not that challenging. You walk with the mountains, waterfalls and glaciers at the end of your valley as your view, absolutely fantastic. My personal favorite view is when you arrive on Hoch Biel and see the multiple waterfalls descending the rock face where the glacier used to reach. People who come up the standard hiking path don’t get to see the waterfalls, unless the walk into the middle of the bowl that they won’t have a reason to if they don’t know what they’re missing. Make sure you pack plenty of water, there are not that many opportunities to fill up on water on the way up, and the path is on the sunny side. On the way down, it might be better to call a cab from Erstfeld or the Alpine Taxi (if you are a group, the Alpine Taxi doesn’t come up if it’s just only for one single hiker), because the last 1 1/2 hours back to Wilerli just aren’t as dramatic as the rest of the tour, and you’ll be getting very tired by then.
