Start the hike down towards Meidsee Lake (5) and along a long trail throughthe alpine pasture you'll reach Meide Hamlet (6). You'll end the downhillhike through a forest with a few mild bends, reaching the stage of the day,the Gruben Schwarzhorn hotel (8) (l'hôtel de Schwarzhorn de Gruben).

In the nearby areaDuring this stage, you just need to look up, the surrounding summits are a feast for the eyes.

Practical informationWater available in streams and the Meide fountainsPleasant stop at Meidsee Lake (when the weather is nice of course).

Meide experience: it was hot when we arrived in Meide with the Swiss flag displayed on top of a chalet in this beautiful hamlet. So Isaid in a rather loud voice "great a refreshment bar, we can have a beer". Then someone with a strong Swiss accent replies:"there's no refreshment bar here, but there's beer in the 4x4". And so he gets out some beer for us and shows us around thechalet... a real gem. So we then stayed at least an hour talking, and about what? About mountains of course!Let us know your opinion on : https://www.hikideas.co.uk/walk-valais-day-5-bella-tola-hut-gruben/
