Challenging mountain hikes of scenic and cultural interest around the Fletschhorn. Recommended for fit and sure-footed hikers.

The hike follows good and signposted paths between 1000 and 2800 meters altitude. In Italy, it passes through the Antrona and Bognanco valleys, in Switzerland through the Saas Valley, Nanztal and the Simplon area.

On the Italian side, 8 mountain huts offer cozy overnight accommodation; on the Swiss side, the stage stops are secured by smaller hotels and guesthouses in the valley that are accessible by cable cars.

Catch glimpses of marmots, chamois and ibex accompanying your path. Enjoy the panoramic views of the Valais Alps, the Lepontine Alps and the Oberland.
