Follow the winter hiking trail from Blatten to the first bridge. Continue on the left side of the Lonza river to Kühmatt where the winter hiking trail starts again. Although the trail winds its way away from you, continue straight ahead to the Fafleralp car park. When crossing Gletscheralp, keep left until you reach Guggialp. Take the time to enjoy a peaceful moment here before going back down to Fafleralp where you will pass by the hotel and join up with the winter hiking trail through a small forest. Take the nature trail from Kühmatt to Eisten which will lead back to your starting point in Blatten.
