Timeline
06:50
Start the 76-minute walk from Saas-Fee toward the Egginer summit. The path leads south through the quiet morning air, giving you time to warm up before the main event.
08:06
Arrive at the Egginer just as the sun crests the horizon. Watch the golden light spill over the peaks to the west, illuminating the valley below.
09:41
Head back down to Saas-Fee and stop at Back Stübli. With the bakery open from 06:15, this is the perfect spot for fresh pastries and hot coffee to warm up after the cold ascent.
Local tip
Check the weather forecast for visibility. The walk is straightforward but can be cold and icy in January.
Check before you go
- Back Stübli opens at 06:15, so you have time for breakfast after the sunrise.
- Dress warmly for the early morning temperature at the summit.
