The start of this ski route is Iffigenalp. Slightly ascending, it goes into the Groppi. The Iffig valley, with Hohberg on the right and the steep flanks of Mittaghorn on the left, is spectacular at any time of year. From Groppi it gets steeper until the frozen Iffigsee is reached. From the lake it is still about 300 meters in altitude to the Iffighorn, where a breathtaking panorama awaits. To the south, Schnidehorn and Wildhorn, to the north Betelberg and Spillgerten. What is the best part of every ski route? Of course, the well-deserved descent! After eating your provisions and drinking the summit wine, you enjoy the descent over the long ridge of Hohberg before turning left towards Pöris. Now the terrain becomes increasingly forested. The descent ends after about 1100 meters in altitude at the former restaurant Alpenrösli.

Classification according to SAC difficulty scale for ski tours: WS-

    You can drive from Lenk to Hubelmatte. From Hubelmatte to Iffigenalp there is a winter driving ban; the Taxi 4x4 takes you with a special permit to Iffigenalp and also picks you up again at Alpenrösli.

  • By train to Lenk. Timetable: SBB. The Taxi 4x4 takes you with a special permit to Iffigenalp and also picks you up again.

  • There are very few parking spaces available at Hubelmatte. Therefore, it is best to park in the village of Lenk and take the Taxi 4x4 to Iffigenalp.

  • Iffigenalp - Iffigsee - Iffighore - Hohberg - Pöris - Alpenrösli

  • For ski routes, the appropriate equipment and the necessary expertise (avalanche knowledge, alpine skills) are mandatory! Those without experience in assessing avalanche situations in open terrain should preferably go on ski routes with a trained mountain guide/snow sports instructor.

  • As with every ski route, avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel, and crampons belong to the equipment.

  • With little snow in the lower areas, it is also possible to ski down only to the Hubelmatte.
