Today we are going high! To climb the Brudelhorn from Geschinen, several route options are possible. Today the mountain tour goes via Merezenbach, a wild side valley of the young Rhone valley.
Following the Merezebach the path first goes uphill towards Chäller, where the cattle are summered on lush alpine pastures. Via a steep eastern flank it continues to Schlossmatte, which was once shaped by the mighty Rhone glacier like a mountain terrace high above the valley floor. The lush alpine meadows become increasingly sparse and rocky up to the summit. The last meters to the Brudelhorn run over a scree ridge. The 360° alpine panorama is unique; the effort was worth it!
The descent is via the Distelsee, where the heavenly blue sky reflects quietly. The Lengtal, which we pass through on the onward way to Ladstafel, also offers lush alpine pastures. The alpine cheese that can be purchased at the Ladstafel dairy tastes wonderful!

Carry a hiking map with you or download the complete description of the hiking trail with a large-scale map. Use only marked paths and observe all markings and signs - for your own safety, to protect the landscape, and out of respect for wildlife. Be considerate of other trail users. Take your waste and others' waste with you.
Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and enough provisions (food and drink) are very important. In case of unstable weather, it is better to turn back early.
Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitude can be very strong, even with overcast skies.
Plan your route carefully and thoroughly. Find out in advance about current conditions and weather. The summer report provides valuable information about the region.
