Ultimately, apart from a few minor issues, there is no alternative to Stoneman Glaciara on the Aletsch side. On the other hand, depending on the flexibility, it would seem sensible to review the route. Here is a variant over the Saflisch Pass with a really good descent.

From Fiesch relaxed into the Binntal..!
At the end of the valley, the coziness is over... it goes up steeply along the Triinemattaweg... so steep that you can hardly even walk up it! Finally back on the gravel road in the direction of Breithorn and the Schaflisch Pass, I actually wish I had an e-bike!!🥵
A nasty climb, never ending...then …

Choosing the Diretissima upwards via a hiking trail and not taking the …

In Wilere I followed the hiking trail to Hiligkreutz. In the Leewald area, the …
