Hiking in Saas-Fee


In Saas-Fee erwartet Sie ein vielfältiges Wander-Paradies mit 350km Wegen. Auf den Wanderwegen geniessen Sie immer wieder neue Perspektiven auf die umliegenden Viertausender – unteranderem auch auf den Dom, der höchste Berg der Schweiz! Ganz bestimmt begegnen Sie dabei auch dem einen oder anderen Murmeltier - den wohl süssesten Dorfbewohnern von Saas-Fee. Lohnenswert ist ein Ausflug mit der höchsten U-Bahn der Welt: die Metro Alpin. Gipfelstürmer haben von hier aus auch die Möglichkeit mit einem Bergführer einer der einfachsten Viertausender in der Schweiz zu besteigen, das Allalinhorn. 

Gemsweg (2h30):
From the town centre, walk across the panoramic bridge as far as Grundbiel. Here, follow the irrigation canal as far as the “Gletschergrotte” mountain restaurant. Then continue on the intermediate- difficulty hiking trail to the summit of the Hannig from where you can catch the cable car back to the town centre.

Hinter dem Mittaghorn (3h30):
A popular intermediate-difficulty hiking trail setting off opposite the Felskinn cable car station via the Fee and Chessenjen glaciers to the Egginerjoch.

Summiteer Glacier Trail (4h30):
high-altitude Alpine hike departing from the Felskinn cable car station, via the Chessenjen glacier and the Egginerjoch to the Britannia hut. The way down takes you across the Hohlaub glacier and the Allalin glacier. The route goes over the glaciers, is well-signposted and is easy to negotiate. This hiking route is only suitable for experienced hikers.

On the Alpine Passes Trail from Saas-Fee to Grächen


A spectacular and challenging stage on the high-altitude trail between Saas-Fee and Grächen. The partly exposed path is secured with wire ropes and requires alpine experience and surefootedness. Breathtaking views down into the Saas Valley and magnificent views of the Fletschhorn, Weissmies and Matterhorn accompany the hike.

The stage is part of the well-known Swiss Tour Monte Rosa and leads along narrow paths, through shady forests and past legendary places such as the Senggboden. After the tree line, a high alpine landscape opens up with views of glaciers, the Weissmies and the Fletschhorn. A tunnel crosses under the Biderbach, where the path used to be impassable due to landslides. The route continues through rocky terrain with views of the Bietschhorn. The wonderful view of the glaciers below the Balfrin invites you to take a break. After about 4 hours you reach Rote Biel, then the trail leads into the Mattertal. Continue past the Stock and Wannenhorn and reach the Hannigalp mountain station. On the descent to Grächen (500 metres in altitude), the view of the Weisshorn - and of course the iconic Matterhorn - is rewarding.

Your stage destination: Grächen, situated at 1600 metres above sea level, is a sunny family holiday village with magnificent views of the Valais Alps.

Swiss Tour Monte Rosa from Grächen to the Europa Hut


Please pack for this stage so that you have everything you need for the evening and the night in your day rucksack. Your main luggage will be transported directly from Grächen to Zermatt. 

This challenging stage offers spectacular views of the highest peaks in Switzerland. The high-level trail leads above the Mattertal valley over alpine meadows, historic Suonen and deep gorges to the Europahütte near Randa.

The starting point is the sunny mountain village of Grächen, from where the trail leads through a beautiful coniferous forest along the Bineri-Suone (built in 1603). After crossing the Riedbach stream, the more challenging section begins with a steep ascent and subsequent descent - including a spectacular passage behind a waterfall.

From Herbriggen, a long, steep ascent leads over steps, zigzag paths and secured passages through wooded terrain up to Geisstriftbächji. From there, you have an impressive view of the Bisgletscher, the Weisshorn and the Mattertal valley.

Shortly before the finish, you pass the Birbach, fed by the Hobärg glacier - the water flows from here to the Mediterranean. After an ascent of around 1750 metres and a descent of 1100 metres, you reach the Europahütte, spectacularly situated high above Randa.

Continue on the Swiss Tour Monte Rosa from the Europa Hut to Zermatt


This spectacular stage leads along the second part of the Europaweg from the Europa Hut to Zermatt - over airy paths, through tunnels, galleries and past breathtaking views.

The highlight right at the start: the Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge, at 494 metres the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the Alps. From here, there is a fantastic view back to the Europa Hut and over to the Weisshorn.

The route runs through coniferous forests, past viewpoints of the Matterhorn and Weisshorn. The section along the rock face and through a tunnel is particularly impressive - with a bit of luck, you may even spot edelweiss along the way.

After several ascents and descents, you reach the Täschalp with uninterrupted views of the Matterhorn. You can stop for refreshments at the Europaweg hut, followed by the enjoyable part of the hike to the Tufternalp restaurant. From here, the hike reaches the stage destination of Zermatt on a leisurely path. 

Hiking in Zermatt


Over 400 kilometres of signposted hiking paths criss-cross the summer paradise of Zermatt. Relaxed-pace family hikes are just as possible as more dizzying Alpine treks. In the background, like an ever-present companion, the Matterhorn – both fearsome myth and most-photographed icon of the region.
