Description

Hoi hikers,

Let's enjoy a sunny sunday in the Saas valley: https://www.outdooractive.com/de/route/wanderung/saas-fee/hoehenweg-graechen/23425847/#dm=1

Weather forecast: Sunny but cold. Summer is over! https://www.srf.ch/meteo/wetter/Hannigalp/46.2069,7.8671?geolocationNameId=81a0f6e743413311c76b390d4c327092

Optional detour: If the weather is not too cold/windy, I would like to go up to the Senggflüe and Mällig peaks. This would mean +600m elevation and +6 km, T3.

These peaks are famous for the ibex population (and of course the amazing view).
