A narrow road (8km/5mi; alternate one-way traffic) runs south from Lenk up the Pöschenried valley, past the Iffigen Falls (130 m/427ft high) to the Iffigenalp (1,618 m/5,309ft). From here there are rewarding climbs (not difficult for experienced climbers, with guide) by way of the Wildhorn hut (2,315 m/7,596ft) up the Wildhorn (3,248 m/10,657ft; six hours) and by way of the Wildstrubel hut (2,793 m/9,164ft) up the Wildstrubel (west peak 3,251 m/10,667ft, east peak 3,253 m/10,673ft; seven hours), from both of which there are magnificent views of the Valais Alps and the Mont Blanc group.
