This alpine hiking route is one of Saas' insider tips and is suitable for experienced hikers. The highlights are the mountain panorama and the various small lakes on Seewjinenberg.
The path starts on the dam crest and first follows the path towards Schwarzbergalpe. At the hairpin bend, the path turns left and leads through the almost untouched moraines and mountain landscape above the Mattmark lake. From here, the trail is only marked with blue-white markers and cairns. There are only occasional trail traces in this alpine terrain. Halfway, the lakes appear and invite you to linger. The view stretches over the water to the mountain peaks of the Swiss-Italian border region. Depending on the sun position, the golden Mary statue on Monte Moro Pass shines on the mountain horizon.
At the end, the path goes over the lake loop and back to the dam crest.
Note:
Users of alpine hiking trails must be surefooted, free from dizziness, in very good physical condition, and must know how to handle rope and ice axe. They must also be able to overcome climbing sections using their hands and know the dangers in the mountains.
From the dam crest, the path leads through the pedestrian tunnel and at the crossroads, it goes right uphill towards Schwarzbergalpe and Britannia Hut. At the signpost in the hairpin bend, the path turns left. From here, blue-white markings and cairns lead to the destination. After the first ascent, the path crosses the two moraines of the Schwarzberg glacier to the rock of Seewjinenberg, which is traversed during the ascent up to the first lake. From here, the route follows the slope down into the hollow (depression) with the second lake. From this lake, the path first goes through the hollow uphill to the moraine and down over it into the valley. Above Distelalp, old trail traces follow. The zigzag is not always easy to recognize. At the hut of Distelalp, this part of the path ends and continues along the path around the Mattmark reservoir. You cross the bridge at the end of the lake and follow the path on the other side of the lake back to the starting point.

Pay attention to the flowering period of the cottongrass. It is most beautiful in July and August.
The descent leads over moraines, rocks, and vegetated slopes, and good surefootedness is highly recommended.
