WILDSTRUBEL CIRCUIT WALK
This is a one-week hotel trek that follows a circular route around the Wildstrubel using trails that have served since Roman times to link the German-speaking Bernese Oberland and the partly French-speaking Valais. Surprisingly a lot of the trade over the high passes before rail, was done in winter with heavy oxen-pulled sledges. There are some long days but lifts and cable cars can sometimes be used to shorten some of the walks.
