Details

Description

A great and challenging mountain hike, which requires a good level of fitness. The first part of the trail is identical to the hike to the Fläscher Lakes. From the uppermost lake it gets quite steep. A beautiful view of the valley will give you the stopover on the Fläscher Fürggli. Now there are still about 300 meters of altitude to go until you reach the summit. But the effort is worth it, the panoramic view is magnificent. With a bit of luck, ibexes can be observed. Before you start your way back, an entry in the summit book is mandatory.

Take the ascent path to the lowest Fläscher See. From there, either via Alp Sarina or Alp Bad.

Geheimtipp

A visit to the restaurant of the Älplibahn is worthwhile because the view is fantastic - Viva & en Gueta!

Sicherheitshinweis

The section between the ridge and the foremost bottle lake can be slippery in places after rainfall. Demanding hike, requires sure-footedness and a head for heights.

Ausrüstung

Normal hiking equipment, sturdy mountain boots.
