(S) Exit on the north side of the station. Follow the yellow markings and the signs for Eggerberg on the yellow signposts. On leaving the station, take the street on the left. Shortly after a right-angle bend, take the first street on the left and follow it to a junction. Turn left into Birkenweg. The road then curves and runs alongside the railway line. Here, on the left, you’ll find a footpath and cycle path running alongside the Vispa. Follow this path to a roundabout. Take the second exit, slightly to the left, to cross the Rhône. At the next roundabout, continue along the second street on the left (Hauptstrasse). Pass the first street on the right and take the second (Eggerbergerstrasse). You will very quickly reach a yellow signpost.
(1) Turn right onto Kummenweg towards Eggerberg/Finnen. Follow the yellow markings uphill to Eggerberg church.
(2) Go past the church at the top, following the Kirchweg until you reach Bahnhofstrasse, which you take to the left. You’ll soon come to another road; take this to the left for about 150 m before turning onto the next track to the right. The track goes through a short tunnel and offers lovely views over the Rhône valley.
(3) Continue straight on along the track. Pass under the Lötschberg railway viaduct. To cross the Baltschiederbach, you’ll need to use several structures: two tunnels and a footbridge.

(7) Continue left towards Ausserberg/Hohtenn and follow the Undra. At this point on the route, we are on the edge of the Jungfrau-Aletsch area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (informative sign). Continue along Undrastrasse, heading west, until you reach Eggastrasse:lovely view of Ausserberg.
(8) Continue along Undrastrasse, which passes through Fischerbiel, to reach the junction with Dorfstrasse in Ausserberg.
