East of the Gelten Hut, the mountain trail leads to Alp Usseri Gelten and along the steep flank of the Vollhoren to Alp Chüetungel (wire ropes and a ladder to secure the trail). Unique view from Geltentrittli to Geltenschuss and over the Lauenental valley. From Alp Chüetungel to the Tierentungel, past the marshes with gorsser ecological significance, to the Tungelpass. After the steep ascent over the Hengstensprung, the almost horizontal path leads past the northern flank of the Niesenhorn to the Wildhornhütte. A beautiful spot to eat, drink and rest. The subsequent descent over the alluvial plain of Sandboden, past the magnificent Iffigensee, over old moraines to Alp Groppi to Iffigenalp.

  • Directions

    Geltenhütte - Chuetungel - Wildhornhütte - Iffigesee - Iffignealp

  • Use the wire ropes provided between Geltenhorn and Chüetungel. You need full concentration when climbing the Hengstensprung (steep and stony). There are also wire ropes in two places for safety.

  • Good footwear, enough to drink and eat.

  • Enjoy a fine cake in the Wildhornhütte. Important, don't forget your swimming costume to take a cold plunge into Lake Iffigen.
