Entschenkopf (2,043 m)

Highlight • Summit

Sure-footedness and a head for heights as minimum requirements only insufficiently reflect the requirements.
There are unsecured climbing passages and the descent towards Gaisalpsee includes another strenuous climb.
Without enough alpine experience, prefer to go on other tours.

Gaisalphorn Summit

Highlight • Summit

Very beautiful summit that is not as crowded as the neighboring Rubihorn.
Coming from Niederegg there is, however, a somewhat more difficult point, which is defused with a wire rope.
Surefootedness and a head for heights are absolutely necessary!

Ridge Trail to Geißalphorn

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Absolute freedom from giddiness and sure-footedness necessary. Very narrow and exposed path! Only for experienced alpinists!

The idyllic Gaisalpsee invites you to thoroughly enjoy the mountain world up here before the descent into the valley begins.

View of the Rubihorn

Highlight • Viewpoint

A hike alone to the lake is worthwhile, because you can take a nice break at the hut by the lake or take a swimming break there in summer.
