Description
The path starts at the village square of Saas-Almagell and follows the road towards Mattmark. After leaving the village (past the carpentry and the large stable), the path turns left past the barbecue area with the lake. The incline increases and the route leads through the larch forest. From time to time, you have a view down to the balancing basin in Zer Meiggeru.
At the third hairpin bend, you are already in Furggstalu, which invites you to linger and enjoy with restaurants and a somewhat different view of Saas-Fee, the Mattmark reservoir, and the Saas mountains.
From Furggstalu, follow the road further, passing Wasserbodu and under the lifts to the parking lot at Alp Furggu.
Afterwards, return on the same trail back to Saas-Almagell.
