From the Fiescheralp mountain station, hike eastwards via Salzgäb, Oberes Tälli (through the illuminated tunnel) to Märjelensee. At the mountain restaurant Gletscherstube, follow the path over Märjelenwang and Stock down to the Burghütte, then reach the Aspi-Titter suspension bridge. This section is relatively demanding, steep and requires surefootedness. Approximately 600 meters of altitude descent must be overcome up to this point. Crossing the suspension bridge also requires freedom from vertigo. After arriving on the other side, continue hiking downhill via Obflie, Ried and Gasse to the village center of Bellwald. From there take the cable car down to Fürgangen and return by train to Fiesch.
