Description
The best way to reach this beautiful circular trail is to take the gondola lift to Hannig.
From there, the hike begins along a woodland path to Mällig (2,700 m a.s.l.), where hikers can enjoy a wonderful view over the Saas Valley and the majority of its 4,000-metre peaks.
Then it is a pleasant and mostly flat walk past the Gebidum to the next waypoint at 2,604 m a.s.l., followed by a steep descent to join the Saas-Fee - Grächen high-altitude trail. The remainder of the hike is a pleasant, gentle descent that leads past Senggboden, shrouded in legend, and Bärenfalle before finishing back in Saas-Fee.
This is a demanding tour and therefore not very suitable for children. The trail got its name for a reason.
This is a popular area for ibexes and, with a bit of luck, those who remain quiet are often rewarded with the chance of a close-up photo.
One particular highlight of the trail is the alternation between wooded and rocky mountain paths. #Note(s)# Pay attention to the cableway timetable. Make sure you plan enough time for the hike and be sure to wear sturdy walking shoes and good outdoor clothing. *¶ So lake ¶ Saas-Fee/Saas Valley Tourism Obere Dorfstrasse 2 3906 Saas-Fee Phone: +41 (0)27 958 18 58 E-mail: info@saas-fee.ch Homepage: www.saas-fee.ch Restaurant Hannig Chicken Ranch 3906 Saas-Fee Phone: +41 (0)27 957 14 19 E-mail: hannig-saas-fee@bluewin.ch Homepage: www.hannig-saas-fee.ch Saastal mountain railways AG Panoramic road 5 3906 Saas-Fee Phone: +41 (0)27 958 11 00 E-mail: bergbahnen@saas-fee.ch Homepage: www.saas-fee.ch/bergbahnen equipment Plan enough time and take good footwear and outdoor clothing with you.
