The route starts in the picturesque village of Fieschertal and at first leads without major climbs eastward into the valley towards Unnerbärg. There you follow the signpost to Fiesch Glacier/climbing garden and after about 5 minutes reach the quite steep ascent towards the Aspi-Titter suspension bridge. For this strenuous section you will be rewarded with a view of the Fiesch Glacier. Passing idyllic mountain huts you continue hiking to the Burghütte. The beautifully located hut is the destination of the hike. On the way back you first walk westward and then continue always downhill back to the starting point Fieschertal.
