Set off with your family to the primeval forest in Blatten and solve the riddles. At the end, you will be rewarded with a great prize from the treasure chest.

The Rischinerwald treasure hunt is packed with lots of great riddles. Along the way, you'll come across a giant forest xylophone and a wooden ball track, among other things.

Solve the puzzles and finally find the treasure of the little Belalp witch Vero.

The treasure maps and the wooden balls (CHF 2.00) for the ball track on the trail can be obtained at the tourist office or at the Belalp Bahnen AG counter.
