This hike leads from Rothwald to Furggubäumlicke and back to Rothwald.

This challenging hike begins at the Rothwald post office stop, Schutzhaus. A small road leads past various huts to Wasenalp. The trail then leads past Wintrigmatta to Scheene Biel. Now begins the tougher section of the hike on the alpine route up to Furggubäumlicke. But the ascent is rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view of the Valais and Italy. After a relaxing break, you can tackle the descent via the same route.
