Route description
Mittaghorn - Plattjen cable car station
The old 'normal route' through the east flank of the Mittaghorn has been somewhat improved since the construction of the via ferrata and is not as bad as first it seems. An easy track way weaves its way down to the left hand side (looking down) of the flank and finally joins into the approach path from Plattjen to the Britannia hut at around 2620 meters. This leads you comfortably left (north), over and old landslide zone (boulders) to the cable car station at Plattjen (2570 m).
Plattjen - Saas Fee
Follow the path down under the cableway, first right, then left of it, regularly applying grease to your knees as you go.
