The Hoferalp is a very beautiful little alpine pasture in a magnificent location. The high-altitude trail from Gspon to Kreuzboden passes right by. The pasture is open for business and is a great place to take a break.

June 17, 2025,Kreuzboden - Saas-Grund 🇨🇭

A mega hike above Saas-Grund. The cable car takes you to Kreuzboden, and from there onto a high-altitude trail with fantastic views. It winds its way above the valley to Hoferälpji. From there, the trail descends gently, diagonally (along the Alpine Pass Trail): through idyllic, sparse forest, across alpine pastures, and through charming villages. Simply fantastic! 🤩
