The starting point of the hike is the old valley station of the Fiesch-Eggishorn aerial cableways. From there, you first follow the Bregeraweg to the junction of the hiking trail to Bellwald. Through wonderfully shady forests, the path ascends via Gibelegga towards Fürgangen and further on to the Chapel of St. Anna. From there, you continue hiking over meadows to Bellwald. You take the Bellwald–Fürgangen aerial cableway back down to the valley in Fürgangen. From there, you take the train back to Fiesch.
