Landschaftspark Binntal - The hotel was built 125 years ago for English visitors - Winston Churchill also stayed in the Binn Valley in 1897.
The traditional Hotel Ofenhorn is steeped in history. Rooms, passages and dining room exude the spirit of the Belle Époque, for the original furniture and decorations from the time the hotel was founded still grace the interior spaces. Some of the rooms were renovated to be cosy, while four were lovingly restored as "nostalgic rooms" and are reminiscent of the pioneering days of the hotel industry. Even the restaurant keeps to the traditional with its Valais specialities.
The hiking trail starts in the minerals village of Binn and continues along the historical path through the wild romantic Twingischlucht gorge to the «auf dem Blatt» chapel. It then goes further past the picturesque hamlet of Hockmatta to Bächerhisch
This path is on the old mule-driver route through the Albrun pass, which connects Binntal with the italian valleys of Ossola.
We start off in the mineral village of Binn. The trial takes us to the hamlet of Zen Binnen, through the wild Twingi gorge, over the Roman bridge to the now uninhabited hamlet Hockmatta and after a small ascent into the Zauberwald.
The steep hike is worth it. The Eggerhorn (2503m) is one of the most scenic points in the Binntal Landscape Park, alongside the Breithorn above Grengiols.
Sledging is a family sport with us. You ride down together through the Binntal/ Eggerbode valley to Fäld.
From Binn, you hike to Giessen and then continue to Imfeld. Partly along the asphalt road, you return to Binn.
