The treasure hunt starts at the Aletsch Arena Guest & Info Center in Fiesch: ask there for the treasure map. The first station is at Aletsch Zoo. Then continue along Bregeraweg to Fieschertal. On the way back to Fiesch, follow the Gogwärgiweg themed trail. The 5.3km route takes you past all eight puzzle stations, hand-carved wooden dwarfs (Gogwärgini) and a playground. The activity (including treasure map and treasure) is free of charge.

Great for the kids to let off steam: there is a fantastic playground in Fieschertal and even have a barbecue.
