Description
The path starts at the village square of Saas-Almagell and follows the road towards Mattmark. After the end of the village (past the carpentry and the large barn), 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 compensation basin at 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 Saaser mountains.
From Furggstalu, follow the road further and pass the Wasserbodu and below the lifts to the parking lot of the Alp Furggu.
Afterwards, take the same trail back to Saas-Almagell.
