Description
The path leads from the glacier down into the village of Saas-Fee and offers alpine views, refreshing glacier water, as well as cool larch forests.
The path leads from the mountain station Längfluh along the ski slope below the Dom and past the glacier to the rock cliffs of the Längfluh. With a view of Spielboden and Saas-Fee, you first pass the ski bridge and then follow the zigzag path down the slope to Spielboden. At Spielboden, you can stop and eat as you like in the mountain restaurant. Behind the restaurant, the path continues in fairly steep terrain towards Saas-Fee. After the Glacier Alp, it leads into the outskirts of the larch forest and to the restaurant Glacier Grotto. From here, the path winds lightly in zigzags through the larch forest, past the glacier lake and the old mill wheel. After descending from the spectacular moraine into the meadows, follow the asphalt road into the village of Saas-Fee.
