Breithorn Diretissima
Description
A good option for the ascent to the Breithorn is to start with the Postbus to Binn and then take the gravel road up towards the Saflisch Pass. You could also go straight up from Grengiols on the eternally long gravel road, but the Binntal variant is more rewarding. After Binn, you climb 1000 meters up to Brunegge, where the route to the Saflischpass branches off to the left. Continue to the Breithorn on the right for another 120 vertical meters until you reach the crossing above Furggerchäller. The detour up to the Breithorn is worthwhile here - the singletrail to the summit can be ridden continuously with sufficient strength in the calves, except for one section. The view at the top of the broad mountain peak is fantastic and leads from the Aletsch region to Monte Rosa and on to Monte Leone and the Blinnnenhorn.
The descent starts super smoothly on the ascent trail, but from the saddle it gets very steep and rough. The section up to the tree line is a technical challenge. In the forest, the trail remains steep, but becomes smoother with increasing distance and ultimately turns out to be fun par excellence. In this way, you descend over 1400 Elevation loss down to Bächerhäusern. If you still have energy left, follow the hiking trail to Grengiols. Otherwise, take a leisurely ride along the country road to the village center and the train station. Ideally, you should take the train back to the starting point in Fiesch.
