Circular
This adventurous circuit starts in Reichenbach and leads visitors on a grand tour of four majestic peaks: the Entschenkopf, Geißfuß, Gaisalphorn, and Rubihorn. The journey offers a stunning birds-eye view of the turquoise Gaisalpsee, a high-altitude lake nestled in the valley below. Along the rocky ridges, the Alpine Chamois, a native goat-antelope that thrives on these steep slopes can be seen sometimes. Because the route involves narrow ridges and some light climbing sections with steel cables, sure-footness and a head for hights are necessary.
