The Allalinpass is an interesting pass crossing from Saas Fee to Täsch in a grandiose high alpine landscape, but technically not very demanding. From the Britanniahütte we descend onto the Allalin Glacier and then ascend to reach the Allalin Pass 3556m over moderately steep firn fields. The descent is via the Mellich glacier to the Täschalp from where a shuttle brings us back to Saas-Fee.
