The route leads over the alpine steppe area of Morenia to the Egginerjoch. There the trail turns right (in the walking direction) over the moraine ridge. Down in the scree area, the path leads past two lakes to a small rock ledge. Then you cross a branch of the Chessjengletscher and ascend to the Britanniahütte. From the hut (3,030 m above sea level) you enjoy an unforgettable view of the Allalin glacier and the Mattmark area with the namesake natural reservoir.
The Britanniahütte was built in 1912 and completely renovated in 1997. It is the most visited SAC hut in the Alps and the starting point of the Haute Route. The route mostly goes over glaciers and is therefore only passable with appropriate equipment.

The use of hiking trails and information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may cause changes to the route.
Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signs and instructions—for your own safety, to protect grazing animals, and without disturbing wild animals.
Be considerate of other trail users and the landscape. Take your own litter and other people’s litter with you.
Carry sun protection. UV rays at altitude can be very strong, even in overcast weather.
Plan your hike carefully: consider the fitness required of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal dependencies.
The weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Proper clothing and enough provisions (food and drink) are very important. Turn back early in poor weather.
Do not go onto glaciers without a mountain guide.
Observe warning signs that point to dangers.
Inform third parties about your route and, if possible, never go alone.
Pay attention to the opening hours of mountain railways.
