Alpine hut hike

from 529 CHF
  • Saas-Fee
  • from 529 CHF
  • Registration required
Crossing two passes and a national border in four daily stages with an altitude difference of 3,500 metres - that's what awaits you on the alpine hut hike from the glacier village of Saas-Fee via the Zwischbergen Pass to the small Italian town of Domodossola.

This multi-day tour is very challenging and requires experience in alpine terrain as well as a good level of fitness. However, the unique panorama of the Saas four-thousand-metre peaks, the tranquillity of the Zwischbergental valley and the Italian charm of Domodossola are well worth the effort. And: an authentic pizza or gelato awaits you at the end as a reward.

Depending on the weather and local conditions (snow, etc.), the tour is possible from around mid-June to mid-October.

The stages:

Day 1: Arrival in Saas-Fee
Day 2: Saas-Fee - Almagelleralp
Day 3: Almagelleralp - Zwischbergen
Day 4: Zwischbergen - Bognanco
Day 5: Bognanco - Domodossola

Notes

This multi-day tour is very demanding and poses a number of challenges:

  • Experience and independent orientation in high alpine terrain 
  • Over-average fitness (8 hours of walking and overcoming over 1,000 metres in altitude are no problem) 
  • Sure-footedness, very good experience in walking on alpine hiking trails 
  • Experience in walking multi-day tours 
  • Correct assessment of the current weather conditions 
  • Know-how in route planning 
  • Adventurous spirit
