    Beautiful trail over the glacier. To go in the morning because of melt water.

    If you don't want to hike this trail in one day, you can also stay overnight at the Britannia Hut.

    Hiking

    The Glacier Trail is a magnificent alpine hike connecting Saas Fee (Felskinn) to the Mattmark Dam, crossing the Hohlaub and then Allalin glaciers. As a bonus, it's possible to climb the Klein Allalin, located above the Britannia Hut and culminating at 3,070 meters.
