Walk where the ice meets the sky. 🏔️❄️✨
In this video, we tackle the spectacular Mattmark Glacier Trail, a high-alpine route in the Saas Valley that connects the massive Mattmark Dam (2,197 m) with the legendary Britannia Hut (3,030 m).
This isn't just a hike—it's an adventure through a kingdom of ice. The trail leads you across three different glaciers: the Allalin, Hohlaub, and Chessjen Glacier. While the path is well-marked and usually manageable without technical glacier gear, it offers the raw feeling of the high Alps, surrounded by iconic 4,000m peaks like the Strahlhorn and Allalinhorn.
✨ Highlights of the trip:
Starting at the historic Mattmark Reservoir.
Crossing the massive debris and ice of the Allalin Glacier.
Reaching the Britannia Hut, one of the most scenic SAC huts in Switzerland.
A quick detour to the summit of Klein Allalin (3,070 m) for a 360° view.
Descending via the Chessjen Glacier towards Felskinn and Saas-Fee.
