The Saltina Loop starts in Brig, where the first turn-off is taken in Brig into Hofjistrasse heading east. Following the road, the tour leads leisurely up to the Biela. From there it continues eastwards until it reaches the village of Termen. After reaching the easternmost point, a sharp right turn follows. The trail now continues along the Basweri. The trail continues through the forest over the Ganterbach and the Taferna. Then the trail leaves the lower Nesseltal valley and continues to the Wickertkreuzweg. Then the Sältina is crossed and the trail leads along the new Simplon road back to Brig.
