4.0 mi

Day 1: A positioning day up the wild and beautiful Binntal to a lovely hut
From Fiesch there is a bus that takes you to the village of Binn. Our tour starts a little further up the road at Fald. This road may be snow covered in which case you can skin or walk/taxi as needed.
From Fald you follow the valley to the E on an old smugglers trail to the well positioned small Mittlenberg Hut at 2393m, with great views. If you have extra energy in the afternoon you can do a small circular tour ascending the Mittleberg, 2537m, above the hut, then descending to the N, W and then S down the Turbewasser and the shoulder to its skiers' R, before reascending to the hut.
