Along the way, you’ll continually discover new perspectives on the region, where tradition, history, and modern life come together.

The Story
On the Foxtrail Simplon, participants set out to solve a mysterious puzzle deeply rooted in the region’s history. Between Brig and Naters, there are frequent clues that tell of times gone by—of hidden messages, secret hiding places, and locations that once held special significance.
The trail winds through historic alleyways, past impressive buildings, and up to squares where you can still feel the presence of the past today. Sometimes the clues seem to date back to centuries long past; other times, they point to the era of military fortifications and strategic routes through the Alps. But nothing is as it seems at first glance.
To solve the mystery, the teams must observe carefully, think creatively, and follow the fox’s trail step by step. Along the way, they encounter surprising discoveries, unusual puzzles, and hidden messages that draw them ever deeper into the history of the Simplon region.
