Rubihorn Gipfel

From the summit of the Rubihorn you have a fantastic view of the Nebelhorn mountain range, the Gaisalpsee, Oberstdorf and the snow-covered peaks of the Allgäu and Tyrol.

360 degree view of the Allgäu Alps and the Allgäu foothills

indescribably beautiful feeling and insanely exciting vistas 🤩🗻🤩🗻

I'm really free from giddiness, but here I am at my limits, careful with children and dogs.

On the way there you are often alone and far away from the known crowds. It is a quiet summit where you can linger with a fantastic view.

Slightly more crowded than the neighboring Gaisalphorn, but easier to reach. Nevertheless, good footwear, sure-footedness and a little head for heights are required.

View from the Rubihorn is priceless

Richteralpe as a stopover is originally and very well suited as a stopover

Magnificent view of Oberstdorf!

In the season there is a lot of hiking here - not for people looking for mountain solitude!

On July 9, 1987, a rock fall occurred on the north side of the Rubihorn, in which between 10,000 and 15,000 m³ of rubble fell into the valley. The traces of this event can still be seen from afar.

Wonderful view of Oberstdorf and the Ifen.

Fortunately, there is the Deinenkopf and other promising mountains nearby. I now only visit the Rubihorn outside of the holidays or on a free day during the week or now in winter under "difficult" conditions :) (Status: 12/2020)

In good weather a very nice view of Oberstdorf. If that's not enough, you can do a round trip over the Gaisalphorn and Gaisalpfuss from there.

Tiring but rewarding climb.A head for heights from the lake urgently required! Fear of heights can be dangerous up there. Paths are narrow, in places hands are needed to move, a deep look. Fuses on the sea side are sparse.Highly frequented on warm summer weekends. Here it is worth going early during the week if the weather is a little worse and if you want to have a little more peace and quiet.

Magnificent panoramic view, overlooking the next challenge, the foghorn ;-)

Really was a great hike. So diverse - lake, mountains, forest ... I'll go there with my wife several times.

The ascent to the Rubihorn is a worthwhile thing. And to all who are not experienced alpinists - I am your man. :-) Because I'm not, actually I'm pretty untrained and yet I dared the trip to the Rubihorn. And yes, it's exhausting and yes, it's high (if you do not know it and you're used to it). But hey, I did it, and if I can do it, everyone can do it. :-) However, it should really be free of heights, because the last section is actually associated with some climbing. In addition to one and z.T. behind one goes down accordingly. However, no separate equipment is required. The descent has it again in itself. My thighs were celebrating a party when we were back down. :-)

Mountain experienced children on the rope possible, dogs not recommended, unless they fit in the backpack ......

We are on the only sunny day of our weekly vacation to the Rubihorn vestments. It was apparently rubi weather. Unfortunately totally overflowing. You had to queue to get up

One of the local mountains of Oberstdorf.

Very crowded in great weather. But you have a gigantic panorama after the tight climb

Grandiose view of Oberstdorf after reaching the summit.

We ascended over the Gaisalpsee on June 1st, 2020. In itself it is a very nice tour, but it was full because of Pentecost + good weather. Not full, but abnormally full, so that we really had to worry about falling rocks and had to queue up or overtake in many places. If you do this tour, it is best to choose a day during the week.
BTW: If the parking lots are full, you shouldn't park on the street. The cars were given parking tickets there in rows.

Was on August 25th, 2021 from Oberstdorf through thealtenbachtobel on the Rubihorn. Very nice climb. There were more hikers on the summit than in the pedestrian zone in Oberstdorf. After two minutes I got down again because I couldn't find a place. The summit was also in the fog, so that I also had no distant view.

Is the hike possible for children and dogs?

Unfortunately very busy
