From the train station, head south along the railway embankment, then switch to Bütschelsstrasse and Allmenbahnstrasse until reaching the Kander. Then take the footpath on the left along the Kander to the International Scout Centre. Before the bridge to Dorfstrasse, a field path leads right to Eggeschwand. At the cable car, continue to the right over the Lötschberg tunnel portal and further along Dorfstrasse back to the station.
