The starting point of the hike is the Fieschertal playground. Cross the Wysswasser and then follow the path, which winds up through the forest toward Bärg. Once there, the route continues steeply in switchbacks up to Matt. At the height of Geissbode, you have completed most of the ascent (around 1,100 meters elevation). On the last section, you now hike over the relatively flat path directly across the sun plateau westward to the Fiescheralp. From there, you take the aerial cableway down to Fiesch and then continue by post bus back to Fieschertal.
