The challenging day tour from Saas Fee via the Balfrinalp to Hannigalp above Grächen rewards trekkers and hikers with grand vistas, four-thousand-meter peaks, stunning nature and in the solitude of mountains off the beaten track. The diverse route at times follows dizzying trails through rocks, across scree fields and lush Alpine meadows dotted with flowers. It often runs alongside the Suonen-, the traditional irrigation canals of the Valaisian Alps.
The challenging mountain tour leads all around Mittaghorn mountain and around Egginer. You will hike right through huge screes strewn with boulders and debris left behind when a glacier melted, alpine meadows and even an actual glacier. At 3,000 meters, Brittania hut is the highest point of the route. The views of the Saas mountain world are simply stunning. Fourthousand meter giants as far as the eye can reach.
