From the scenic mountain station Sunnbüel, the hike leads into the Spittelmatte area. In the larch stands to the right of the path, the small larch lakes are hidden, which are worth a detour. The path then turns, ascending more steeply, to the Schwarenbach mountain hotel, whose guests included Guy de Maupassant, Alexandre Dumas, Mark Twain, Lenin, and Pablo Picasso. Charming is the hike through the typical round hill landscape to the Daubensee in an almost completely vegetation-free area. On the Gemmi Pass, you suddenly stand before the magnificent ring of Valais mountain giants from the Mischabel over Weisshorn, Zinalrothorn, Matterhorn, and Dent Blanche to Mont Collon. From the hotel, you enjoy a breathtaking deep view of the spa resort Leukerbad, which lies almost 1000 m below. The descent on a good trail over the steeply falling Gemmi wall is entertaining but very steep.
