Old Watermill on the Carl-Bösch Trail

Highlight • Monument

Short, but beautiful, stretch of the way past the watermill and over beautiful bridges!
This path was named after Karl Bösch. He was the project manager for the water supply on the major construction site in Mittelallalin.

Wonderful view of the 4,000-meter peaks around Saas-Fee and on the way to Spieboden, you have the opportunity to feed marmots.

The Spielboden (mountain station and mountain restaurant) is at 2450 meters.
The valley station for Längluh is also here.

In a sun-drenched location in the glacier area Längfluh lies the refuge Längfluh. In addition to delicious food with a view of a breathtaking panorama, the mountain lodge also offers overnight accommodation. 15 beds can be reserved by phone at least two days in advance.
The Längfluh is a rocky outcrop of the Pennine Alps, which shares the Fee Glacier above Saas Fee in the Valais. The Längfluh can be reached by cable car and belongs to a ski area.
Beiz with train! New, comfortable and elegant dark blue gondolas soar in no more than eight minutes to the playground floor directly in front of the terrace of the region's best mountain restaurant. The play floor is a feel-good zone: light wood, lots of glass, huge sun terrace, glacier and village views. The Spielboden is the "branch" of the 18-point restaurant Fletschhorn. The six (!) Wine cabinets in the entrance area alone are reminiscent of that.


At 2448 meters above sea level, à la minute is served, with the utmost care and of the highest quality. The very best: the wonderful boiled beef salad, which was applied in a bowl to Amuse-Bouche. Gentle meat. Gentle jelly. Lovingly diced vegetables. Refreshing temperature. A strong business card presented by chef Mathias Häusler!

A few dishes are mandatory up there: The soup with alp cheese, Fendant and rye bread is indeed as advertised "much lighter than a fondue". On the "Valais Plättli" Knobliwurst and slightly smoked smoked cheese bacon impress. From the pasta section we recommend «Gletscherhüetli» with a Ragù alla bolognese from Rib-Eye. Alternative: Müscheli - with Moules and Vongole. The classic with the main courses is "The real Wiener Schnitzel" (sliced of veal, with lukewarm potato salad).

View of the Fee Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

As you leave Saas-Fee, in the middle of the last green meadows before the arrival of the high mountains, you can admire the impressive Fee glacier in front of you. The spectacle is sublime.

July 12, 2023,Saas-Fee - Längfluh
Between the edge of the village and the playground there are many marmots who like to be fed. Don't forget to bring carrots and hard bread.

Today's destination was Längfluh. We cycled to Saas Fee again. Yesterday's rain made everything a blur. Almost no visibility until Spielboden, only then did the sun appear for the first time. Shortly before, you could treat almost tame marmots with carrots and peanuts. A little later, an ibex grazing peacefully. At the top of Längfluh, there was real sunshine. Awesome …

Today there was supposed to be a snow tour to Längfluh. That's the plan.
We save ourselves the first 600 meters of altitude by taking the Spielboden mountain railway.
The weather was changeable but often had clear sections. We left in good spirits. However, it became more and more difficult. We couldn't see any markings anymore because of the snow …

Today I took it a little easier and took the train to the Spielboden station. Marmot Trail. However, the little animals are so picky and overfed that I couldn't attract any with my organic peanuts. No wonder everyone runs after the animals with sacks of peanuts and carrots. So I drove further up to the Längfluh station, to the edge …
