The Foggenhorn is a mountain for anyone who loves hiking. It is located on a long ridge to the west of the Belalp and can be reached from the mountain station in about 2.5 hours, via two possible routes:

Route 1: Hike from the mountain station to Alpe Bäll and from there towards Alpe Nessel. You will soon reach the Suone (water pipe) Nessjeri. Just before the beautiful and worth seeing Alpe Nessel with its small chapel, cross the Nessjeri and climb in a zigzag up to the Foggenhorn.

The Foggenhorn is a summit for true hiking enthusiasts. At 2,569 metres above sea level, it can be reached after a 2.5-hour walk from the Belalp mountain station. Its long ridge and the panorama from the summit are simply stunning!

Hiking

It is especially worthwhile when the visibility is good, because from the Foggenhorn you can see the Matterhorn and beyond that even as far as Mont Blanc.
