Over 60 solar lights along the 500m long path shine with 500 lumens in the dark.

When there is movement, the luminosity increases to 2000 lumens, creating not only safety but also an impressive nocturnal atmosphere in the landscape.

The tour starts at the Riederalp fire station (after the Hohfluh cable car).

As you stroll leisurely along the path of lights, across the golf course across Furrerstrasse to Chieweide, every light creates a magical atmosphere.

The hike ends at Chalet Amore.
