This trail leads through the picturesque Bider area. From Saas-Fee across the valley floor, it goes in a zigzag to the Grächen high path and then gently downhill back to Saas-Fee.
From here, it goes downhill to the larch forest. Via Senggbodu and Bärafalla, you reach the glacier village Saas-Fee again.
Author’s recommendation
- From the Bärafalla, you can also reach Saas-Fee via the Mälchbodo and thus extend the route.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
