From Haus Vogelweide, the former home of Carl Zuckmayer in the Wildi area, the groomed winter hiking trail leads towards Bärufalla and on to Mälchbodu. Continuing straight ahead and slightly uphill, you reach the Café Alpenblick, which is located in the middle of the snow-covered forest on the Sun Mountain Hannig. The descent to Saas-Fee is via the zigzag path that begins behind Café Alpenblick. Heading north, you have a beautiful view of the snow-covered village and reach the Honeggu, which lies above Saas-Fee on the edge of the village. There the path branches off towards Wildi and you reach the starting point again at Haus Vogelweide.
