JazzilückePhoto: Saastal Tourismus AG ., Saastal Tourismus AG
The path "Jatzilicku" (=Jazzilücke) leads through the almost untouched Ofental and offers many impressive views. From the Antronapass, the path leads through the Furgtälli to Furggu and continues to Furggstalden.
The path leads from the Mattmark reservoir lake over the dam and along the left bank (looking uphill) to the junction towards "Jatzilicku" (= Jazzilücke). The path through the untouched Ofental leads towards the end of the valley at about 2,721 m above sea level over the Jazziwäng. At "Jatzilicku" there is a magnificent view into the Italian Valle d'Antrona. From Jazzihorn, in a northeasterly direction, you soon reach the Antronapass, which the Italians call Passo di Saas. From this point, you get an impression of the descent, as you have an impressive view of the also almost untouched "Furggtälli". The path towards Furggstalden also starts at the Antronapass and runs along the Furggbach through the Furggtälli valley to Furggstalden. After this long but beautiful and alpine route, the descent to Saas-Almagell by chairlift is offered at Furggstalden.
The descent from the Antronapass is also called the route "In the Footsteps of the Traders".
Author’s recommendation
Due to its length, this route is more suitable for enduring hikers.
A very early start in the morning is recommended.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Safety information
- Use of the hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may cause changes to the route.
- Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect grazing animals, and without disturbing the wildlife.
- Be considerate towards other trail users and the landscape. Take your trash and that of others with you. • Carry sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even in cloudy weather.
- Plan your hike carefully: consider the fitness of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions. • Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. Turn back early in case of unsettled weather.
