Next to the cross-country ski trail, it goes southPhoto: Saastal Tourismus AG ., Saastal Tourismus AG
The trail leads snowshoe enthusiasts to the southernmost part of the Saas Valley, into the alpine mountain landscape below the Mattmark Dam.
The trail starts at the mountain railway parking lot in Saas-Almagell and first follows the main road to the chapel in Zermeiggern. From there, it continues alongside the cross-country ski track towards Mattmark. After the open area, the path turns left near the young larches and the signpost and slowly ascends the slope onto the old path. The route now leads through the snowy, open forest landscape. At the huts of the "Eiu" Alp, the small descent to the ski track begins. The path then follows the ski track downhill to Zer Meiggeru and alongside the main road back to Saas-Almagell. Alternatively, from Zermeiggern, you can walk along the ski track to the Webstube.
Author’s recommendation
- If you still have some energy left, you can extend the route from Eiu Sand with the ascent to the Mattmark Dam.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Use of the snowshoe routes and the information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may lead to changes in the routes.
- Snowshoe routes require increased attention and caution regarding weather conditions, avalanche risk, and slipping hazards.
- Use only marked routes and observe all signs and instructions - for your own safety, to protect livestock, and to avoid disturbing the peace of wildlife.
- Plan your route carefully: consider the required fitness of all participants, the weather forecast, and the season.
- Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it's better to turn back early.
- Pay attention to warning signals indicating dangers, especially avalanche risk.
- Inform third parties about your route and if possible, never go alone.
- Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
