From Gersau to Rigi Hochflue
Gersau - Mettlen - Ochsenalp - Hochflue - Gätterli - Ober Gschwend
Varied alpine hike (T5) with different viewpoints and a stunning panoramic view over Central Switzerland
The hike leads over Mettlen up to Ochsenalp with an impressive view over the lake and Gersau. Then it continues to Alp Zillistock. Depending on the time of day, chamois graze there.
Soon after, the blue-white alpine trail to Hochflue begins. This trail leads over warm rock walls, on which ropes and chains are mounted for holding on. At the top of the mountain peak, the view is - how else can I say it - otherworldly. The sight of the Alpine range combined with the turquoise-colored Lake Lucerne far below is unique.
The descent is spectacular from the start: We climb down a ladder about 17 meters long vertically. From there it goes steadily downhill until the restaurant Gätterlipass. A cool drink on the terrace rounds off the experience. From there, it’s just a stone’s throw to Ober Gschwend.
But the adventure is not over yet: Bus 535 takes us on an impressive route back from Ober Gschwend to Gersau.
So that future generations or tomorrow's hikers can enjoy the trail, we ask you to take your trash back with you.
