    The Hannig Trail offers a good introduction to alpine terrain. The intermediate trail features many singletrails, some rocky terrain, and even a summit.

    The trail starts at the Hannigbahn mountain station, from where the 400-meter ascent to Mällig begins.

    From Mällig, a magnificent view opens over the Saastal and most of its four-thousanders. This is followed by an almost flat, easily runnable section up to the point at 2,604 m above sea level, passing Gebidum. From here follows a steep and technical downhill until the path merges into the Höhenweg Saas-Fee - Grächen.

    The rest of the trail leads slightly downhill and very flowy through the larch forest, past Senggbodu and Bärufalla back to Saas-Fee.

    Author’s recommendation

    • In the Mällig - Gebidum area, ibexes like to stay and can be observed up close with some luck.

    Safety information

    The use of hiking trails and the information on this website is at your own risk. On-site conditions may lead to changes in the route.

    • Use only marked trail paths and observe all signs and instructions—for your own safety, the protection of grazing animals, and respect for wildlife. Close gates after passing through.
    • Behave considerately towards other trail users, plants, and animals.
    • Bring additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even on cloudy days.
    • Plan your trail carefully: consider the required fitness level of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal dependencies.
    • Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it’s better to turn back early.
    • Inform others about your trail route and, if possible, don’t go alone.
    • Observe warning signals indicating dangers at riverbanks, along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: water levels can rise quickly and without warning.
