01/ Overview
The route
The snowshoe trek winds its way through snow-covered larch forest to the sunny Hannig mountain, high above Saas-Fee. Spectacular views over the Saas Valley with its 4,000-metre peaks, the pretty villages and the glacier landscape will reward you along the way.
The snowshoe tour begins directly at the Saas-Fee (Hannig) stop. From the village houses, the route climbs briskly and emerges onto open slopes. Clearings and sections of forest soon begin to alternate, while the ascent gains around 520 metres in elevation over just three kilometres. After just under an hour, the route passes Restaurant Alpenblick.
The steady ascent then continues through forest and open terrain. As the route gains height, the houses of Saas-Fee recede below. It continues consistently uphill until the terrain opens out again towards Hannig. After just over two hours, the snowshoe tour reaches its highest point at Saas-Fee, Hannig, at around 2'340 m, near Mällig. Bergrestaurant Hannig and the Hannig stop are just a few steps from the destination.

How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.
How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.
