Excursions 
It is said that during bad storms the demons play skittles on the
glacier plateau, throwing rocks at the 40 meter high rock tower,
missing it most of the time. No wonder that people were scared on the
other side - Alp Derborence, 1,500 m further down, is known for its rock
falls.
However, sunshine turns the "Glacier 3000-" (at almost 3,000 m) from a
playground for demons to a heavenly experience, even for the less
surefooted. Flat and without dangerous crevasses, the permanent snow
stretches out to the horizon. You don't feel like walking? Then take a
ride on the snowbus or on a sleigh pulled by dogs. Experienced hikers
can make their way to the Prarochet Hut and taste Edmée's fine
blackcurrant wine and cakes - the best around! Continue on your way to
the source of the Saane and pass Lake Sanetsch before reaching the
cable car station for the return trip to Gsteig.
