Route:
A magnificently-landscaped path leads from the First summit station by lush flowering alpine meadows. At the start of the hike, a short, but considerable climb must be tackled up to the Gummihütte. After a short period of hiking, a more or less flat path leads from the Gummihütte to Lake Bachalp. Behind the lake, the former mule track climbs steeply in the direction of the Burgihütte mountain hut, passing two mountain refuges before it reaches Gassenboden. The time-honored Faulhorn Hotel, from where you can enjoy magnificent sunrises and sunsets, is just a few bends further up the trail. A steep trail leads you down from Gassenboden through the wide Alpine basin of Bussalp, continuing via Oberläger to the end station of the Bussalp post bus. Return: Lunch/Drink: |
