The path starts at the upper station of the Felskinn cable car and leads eastwards from the terrace of the Felskinn mountain restaurant to the Egginerjoch. Please pass this section quickly, as there is a risk of rockfall in summer. From the Egginerjoch, the path branches off to the right (in walking direction) over the moraine ridge. Down in the scree area, the path passes two lakes and leads to a small rock ledge. Then it crosses an extension of the Chessjen Glacier and climbs up to the Britannia Hut. From the hut (3,030 m above sea level) you can enjoy an unforgettable view of the Allalin Glacier and the Mattmark area with the eponymous natural reservoir. Due to the altitude, snow can be expected on the path even in summer.
Note:
Users of alpine hiking routes must be sure-footed, free from vertigo, and in very good physical condition as well as familiar with the use of rope and ice axe. They must also be capable of overcoming climbing sections using their hands and aware of the dangers in the mountains.

Use of the hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. The conditions on site may possibly cause changes in the route.
Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect livestock and without disturbing the peace of the wildlife. Behave considerately towards other trail users and the landscape. Take your waste and others' waste with you. Carry sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even in cloudy weather. Plan your hike carefully: consider the required fitness of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal dependencies. Weather conditions can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. Turn back early in case of unstable weather. Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide. Observe warning signs that indicate danger. Inform third parties about your route and don’t go alone if possible. Pay attention to the opening times of the mountain railways.The Saas Valley is easily and conveniently accessible by car from all directions, whether from Switzerland or abroad.
