Description of the route
Starting from the historic Tache square, where the tourist office and the interesting Walser Museum are situated, take the narrow street heading northwards, next to the beautiful parish church and its cemetery, and continue straight ahead along the paved road that in a few minutes leads to a bridge over the Lys river. Do not cross it and continue along the right bank following the route that soon becomes a dirt road. After about 35 minutes the path reaches the beautiful houses in the hamlet of Bätt, dominated by the Biel chapel, which is the destination of the route. This small church can be reached in a little more than 20 minutes along path 9a, offering a spectacular view of the Gressoney valley.
