20-Alpenpässse-Weg
The route traverses the steep western flank of the Saas Valley along an exposed high-altitude path — some sections secured with wire cables — delivering constant panoramas of the Mischabel group, the Fletschhorn, the Weissmies, and the Matterhorn, with vertiginous views straight down into the valley below. The terrain shifts from open larch forest through boulder fields and across several avalanche chutes before arriving at the sunny terrace of Grächen.

A high-altitude panoramic traverse linking Saas-Fee to Zermatt, the route strings together views of 13 four-thousanders visible from Saas-Fee alone, threading the steep flanks of the Mischabel group along the Europaweg before crossing the 500 m Charles Kuonen suspension bridge — the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge — with the Matterhorn waiting at the far end.
