The starting point of the hike is Fiesch. At the Fieschertal/Station junction, hike toward Wiler and at the crossroad in Birchi continue toward Fiescheralp. After a short time, you reach the Laggeraweg, which you follow through meadows and forests to a bridge and the junction to Martisberg. Once the climb to Martisberg is done, the route continues relatively flat: along the sunny valley slope, you pass the idyllic Valais villages Betten Dorf, Goppisberg, and Greich with their typical black larch houses. For the last section—the descent to Mörel-Filet—you have two route options: either walk via Ried-Mörel or via Breiten downhill. Afterwards, you take the train back to Fiesch.
