Description
This path was created in 1996 in honor of the writer Dr. Carl Zuckmayer and leads through the larch forest around Saas-Fee. The path is accessible ...
From Haus Vogelweide, the former residence of Carl Zuckmayer in the Wildi area, the groomed winter hiking trail leads towards Bärufalla and further to Mälchbodu. Continuing straight ahead and slightly uphill, you reach Café Alpenblick, located in the snowy forest on the Sonnenberg Hannig. The descent to Saas-Fee follows the zigzag path starting behind Café Alpenblick. Looking north, there is a beautiful view of the snow-covered village and then you reach Honeggu, located on the outskirts of Saas-Fee above the village. From there, the path branches off towards Wildi and returns you to the starting point at Haus Vogelweide.
