Return to the sign at the top of the ladder and curve left. You will shortly come to a seat with a sign explaining that the Fieschergletscher is about 15km long, but between 1891 and 2010 it lost about 1000m of its length.

There follows a lovely descent among birch, pine and larch trees down a domed granite rib. On coming to a track turn right and wander easily along it to Titter (1627m), the head of a works cableway with a few buildings nearby. Here you take a path descending into pinewoods. Come to a pair of small wooden chalets, below which you go through more trees and emerge to another fine viewpoint overlooking the valley. Passing another tiny timber chalet the way goes over bare slabs, then steeply down to more trees and another junction.

Take the route towards Unnerbärg and Fieschertal, curving right over yet more slabs to another chalet, then into woodland. On coming to another junction descend left and before long you will reach yet another junction – this one unmarked – just to the left of a stream. Ignore the left-hand option and continue downhill. The path eventually brings you onto a narrow road at Unnerbärg (1300m) where you turn right.
