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

This demanding hike starts at the Rothwald, Schutzhaus bus stop. Along a small road and past various huts, you reach Wasenalp. The path then leads past Wintrigmatta to Scheene Biel. Now the more challenging part of the hike begins on the alpine route up to Furggubäumlicke. However, the ascent is rewarded with a beautiful panoramic view of the Valais and Italy. After a relaxing break, you can tackle the descent along the same route.
