Quite nice hike, mostrly on the ridge, from Moosalp to Jungen, striking: Augstbordhorn – Augstbordgrat – Dreizehntenhorn – Schwarzhorn (3201m) – Augstbordpass
difficult
Distance 19.5 km
Duration7:00 h
Ascent1,562 m
Descent1,634 m
Highest point3,199 m
Lowest point1,975 m

It is a quite fisically demanding hike (about 20 Km and 1500m d+), but as much superb since 12 Km are all on a very nice ridge. The view is fantastic dominating the Rhone valley with view on the Bernese Alps, the Saas-Fee groups, and the Monte Rosa-Matterhorn-Zermatt area.

The first bit, from Moosalp, is tecnically very simple, after 800m ascent (1h 30min) you reach the ridge and from there a very nice path extends to the Augsbordhorn and then to the Dreizehntenhorn (3h). Just right before the Dreizehntenhorn the ridge gets a bit more exposed, but not very difficult unless soffering of vertigos. 

The segment between Dreizehntenhorn, Schwarzhorn and Augstbordpass is the most difficult, the path to follow is not clear and the ascent part to the Schwarzhorn (4h) is very steep with quite unstable terrain. The descent part will be done along the south‐ridge, it is easier but still need attention. 

From the Augstbordpass (5h) the descent to Jungen is a very simple path that will take about 2h. 

Overall, the full hike is a mix of different path, but the grade of difficulties to keep in consideration is T4
