From the Hotel Saaserhof, the trail leads below the Stafelwald lifts towards the valley station of the Felskinn cable car. Before the bridge over the Feer-Vispe, the trail branches off to the right into the forest. The trail leads through the wintry forest and hilly landscape, past the old mill wheel of Saas-Fee and the Felskinn cable car station. The trail slowly winds its way up the mountain alongside the pistes. The destination is the restaurant Gletschergrotte, which invites you to linger with its charm and beautiful sun terrace.
This trail is also ideal for a snowshoe hike.
