Beautiful trail towards Hinterjochli

Highlight • Trail

We climbed up from the “vorder Juchli” without a path. First over steep grass bands, through a short couloir up to the ridge.

Here you can enjoy wonderful views and it is a nice place to take a break and enjoy the view.

The path from the Jochli over the Risetenstock to the Glattigrat is a very beautiful section, a really beautiful high-altitude path along the ridge. Not too difficult, counts as T3, but is nowhere really narrow and only has one or two spots when passing short rocky passages where a little more surefootedness is required. Often blue / white markings still flash. However, the path is a red / white signposted path and, as I said, very easy to do.

And yes, as there are mountain trails and ridge trails, you can enjoy wonderful views from this section 😍😍😍. A very nice section !!

Exposed section on Glattigrat

Highlight • Trail

This short path section is marked blue / white. However, it is only minimally exposed and, in my opinion, not exposed, as the path following it and marked red / white. I would say it is a nice T3 way. The view in this area is just fantastic and very recommendable.

June 29, 2025,Gitschenen- Schwalmis- Risetenstock

We started at the Gitschenen mountain station. The cable car normally operates at 7:30 in the morning. Given the heat, we were an hour late. 😂. Our first destination was Schwalmis. Wonderful views of the mountains and the Swiss Plateau. Our second destination was Risetenstock. The best part of the day, or rather, of the year, was seeing nine bearded …
