The path was already mentioned in writings in the year 1217 (Saas Archive E1 from 1.7.1415). Coin finds in 1963 by mountain guide Albert Imseng (+ 12 Oct 1963) from the period around 324-500 BC prove that this crossing was already used in Roman times. After the opening of the military and trade route over the Simplon, the goods traffic came to a halt from 1805 onwards.
To shorten the long way to the Antronapass today, you can take the cable car from Saas-Almagell to Furggstalden. From there, the trail leads southeast over the Mäslaubgrabe to Chapf and further to Furggu. From there, you reach the old trade route in the valley bottom of the "Furggtälli" and follow the Schönboden, the Bitzbrunnen to the end of the valley to the Antronapass (Passo di Saas) at 2,838 m above sea level. From the pass, you have a wonderful view of the Antrona valley and the reservoir Lago di Cingino.

The use of the hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may cause route changes.
Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect livestock, and without disturbing the peace of wildlife. Be considerate towards other trail users and the landscape. Take your rubbish and others' rubbish with you. Carry sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even in cloudy weather. Plan your hike carefully: consider the required fitness of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal dependencies. Weather conditions can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and enough provisions (food and drink) are very important. Turn back early in case of unstable weather. Do not enter glaciers without a mountain guide. Observe warning signals indicating dangers. Inform third parties about your route and, if possible, never go alone. Pay attention to the opening hours of the mountain railways.The Saastal is easy and convenient to reach by car from all directions, whether from within Switzerland or from abroad. From the north, you can reach us via Bern through the Lötschberg car shuttle. From the east, you come via the Furka Pass or the Furka car shuttle. From the south, we are accessible via the Simplon Pass or the Simplon car shuttle, and from the west, you drive via Lausanne along the Rhone valley to Visp and then towards Saas-Fee. From Visp, drive south towards Saas-Fee. At the "Killerhof" roundabout near Stalden, take the second exit to Saas-Fee. In Saas-Grund, turn left after the church towards Saas-Almagell.
