Description
On this stage above the tree line, you can enjoy untouched nature as well as a dreamy view over the Saas Valley and the Mischabel range with the ...
The descent from the Weissmieshütte to Kreuzboden is the start of the new day. From Kreuzboden, the path runs southwards towards Saas-Almagell. The first section is marked as an alpine flower promenade. At the point where the path crosses the ridge "Triftgrätji," the probably most beautiful view of the hike awaits: from the Mattmark reservoir to Stalden! At "Triftgrätji" you leave the themed path and walk flat until the transition into the Almageller valley. Here follows a descent to the Almagelleralp.
After a break on the terrace, the path leads following the Almagellerbach stream to the left (uphill seen) up to the Almagellerhütte. This stage is known as the Almageller Höhenweg.
