Day 1: Take the bus to the starting point at Iffigenalp. The adventure begins here. The mountain path winds along a historic mule track through the impressive rock face towards Rawil Pass. Already on the ascent, a swirling waterfall refreshes the senses. A highlight is the Rawilseeleni in the barren rocky landscape, surrounded by majestic peaks. Here you will find a perfect spot for a picnic and a refreshing break – for those who dare to dip their feet into the icy cold mountain water. Only 300 meters of elevation remain and the day's goal is reached. Overnight: Kitsch sunset with hut atmosphere Spend the night in the Wildstrubel hut at an impressive 2,800 m above sea level. The sunset behind the mountain peaks paints the sky with picturesque colors as the starry sky slowly begins to twinkle. Enjoy local delicacies and exchange adventure stories with like-minded people – an opportunity to share the unforgettable experiences of the day and immerse yourself together in the fascinating world of the mountains.
Hiking duration day 1: approx. 3h30
Day 2: On the second day, the route leads over the Tierberg saddle through the wild and rocky Tierberg valley down to the roaring glacier stream. Walking through the valley, the view of Lenk’s local mountain Wildstrubel is a constant companion. To the left above the path, above the scree slope, is the Tierberg cave, where hunters sought refuge as early as 1800 BC. The stream originates from the somewhat higher located glacier Plaine-Morte. The highlight of the day is the picturesque Flueseeli, idyllically nestled in an inconspicuous intermediate plateau with the best view of Lenk. The descent to Rezliberg is steep and exposed, so concentration is required again here. Arriving at Rezliberg, on the left side are the Siebenbrunnen, an impressive wide waterfall from the rock. These seven springs form the source of the Simme and are a wonderful place of power. But the hike is not over yet – the descent to the Simmenfälle is still ahead. The splashing water accompanies you back to the valley where you will start your journey home with tired legs but surely thankful for the time spent in nature. From the Simmenfälle a bus goes to Lenk station.
Hiking duration day 2: approx. 4h30
Refreshment in mountain lakes: The region offers spectacular long-distance routes amidst many refreshing mountain lakes inviting you to linger. Take the chance to swim in one of the clear mountain lakes during the hike, such as on this route at Flueseeli, to refresh body and soul. Just be careful, the lakes are ice cold – truly a refreshment – judge well what your body can handle. These mountain lakes are natural oases and offer a breathtaking backdrop for unforgettable moments of relaxation and renewal.
