Description

From the top of the Fiescheralp/Eiggishorn upper tram, head uphill past the adorably tempting snack stand. Next, descend over large rock plates into a mini-saddle. From the saddle, follow the red/white paint markings uphill along the rock-armored path. The trail switchbacks a few times as it gains altitude.

Soon, the summit is reached. There is not much extra room to accommodate the others resting and picnicking here, but the views north towards the Aletsch Glacier are well worth it! Return the way you came.
