Route:
A magnificently-landscaped path leads from the First summit station by lush flowering alpine meadows. At the start of the hike, a short, but considerable climb must be tackled up to the Gummihütte. After a short period of hiking, a more or less flat path leads from the Gummihütte to Lake Bachalp. The trail leads on a steady ascent past both Bachalpsee lakes to Hireleni and the Fernandez mountain refuge beyond. It continues through short sections of scree, stone steps and rubble to Feld, where it traverses the Bussalpbach stream at Bonera. From there, you can hike directly to Bussalp or by way of Oberläger.
