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.

Descent from Rubihorn to the lower Gaisalpsee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

For this section of the path you should be sure-footed and free from vertigo in the summit area. A few short, wire-rope insured passages are easy to manage.

The hike to the Rubihorn is well signposted and marked, but requires surefootedness and a head for heights, especially from Gaisalpsee, where the trail becomes increasingly steep and exposed in places. Some sections are secured with wire ropes.

The path along the Gaisalpbach stream through the Gaisalptobel ravine is constantly accompanied by rushing water. It's beautiful and wonderfully shady in summer.
