Hiking holidays Alpine Passes Trail Mattertal & Val d'Anniviers, 4 days

Hiking: Alpine passes trail

Valleys and passes of Valais 

The Alpine-passes trail connects the most beautiful valleys of Valais. This tour starts in Saas Fee. The enchanting landscape is followed by the first alpine experience.

The walk takes you up to almost 3'000 metres and shows you amazing views on the snow-covered peaks of Valais. The end of the trip is rough and rocky. Snow covered peaks tower above the valleys of Mattertal and Val d'Anniviers and some of the wildest tales of mountaineers were written in these valleys.
