From Chandolin to the Illhorn above the Rhone valley to the rocky mountain Schwarzhorn. Above Chandolin lies the Illhorn, a mountain with an amazing view over the Rhone valley and Val d'Anniviers. The Illhorn is the first of two summits in this guide, from the Illhorn you head to a small lake, Lac Noir, where you can rest a bit before climbing up the rocky Schwarzhorn. When returning, you can make a little stop at Cabane d'Illhorn and get a taste of a local brewed beer.
The Illhorn is a classic summit and easy to get to, this hike combines it with a more challenging summit a bit further: the Schwarzhorn.
