Roundtrail Furkapass - Tällistock

We start our tour at the Furka Pass and hike south along the marked path. We cross the many small arms of the Mussbach stream and soon find ourselves at a crossroads where we keep left. A path now leads steeply up to the Tällilücke and further left, then at the highest point of the tour right to the Tälligrat.

At the crossroads in Gale we turn right, after we cross the Lengesbach and circle the Tällilücke now on the northeast side. At the following fork we turn right and reach the crossroads which we already know from the ascent. Then we take the familiar path back to the Furka pass.

We recommend:

• Good footwear and walking sticks
• Sun and rain protection and warm clothing
• Detailed map or information material with good tour preparation
• Provisions for your day in the great outdoors
• Pocket pharmacy and mobile phone for emergencies

Take a map with you or download the complete description of the route with a large-scale map. Use only signposted paths and observe all markings and signs - for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape and in respect for wildlife. Be considerate of other users. Take your rubbish and that of others with you.

Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Adequate clothing and provisions (food and drink) are very important. If the weather is unstable, it is better to turn around early. Carry additional sun protection with you. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even when the sky is overcast.

Plan your tour carefully and in detail. Inform yourself in advance about the current conditions and weather conditions. The summer sports report provides you with valuable information from the region.
