- Destination: Fiescheralp
The route starts at the village square in Fieschertal. From there you follow the valley-bound asphalt road towards Unnerbärg until on the left the mountain path branches off to Stock. The path quickly gets steeper and leads over a scree field directly to a rock face with a small waterfall. From here the route becomes even more challenging: over rock slabs the path winds up to Stock. You will be rewarded for the effort with a view of the Fiescher Glacier. After you have managed the steep ascent over rock, you continue hiking uphill over alpine meadows to Märjelenwang. The next destination is the Märjelensee region with the Vordersee, right by the mountain hut Glacier Hut. On the return you hike via Oberes Tälli (through the 1 km long, illuminated Tälligrat tunnel) to Salzgäb and from there to Fiescheralp. Take the cable car down to Fiesch and travel by post bus back to Fieschertal.
