Across alpine pastures at the foot of the Hohgant

Mountain hiking trail. A panoramic hike on the slopes below the mighty snow bands on the north side of the Hohgant. In constant ups and downs, you follow stony alpine roads and narrow pasture paths and cross pathless alpine meadows. On the way, protected high moors, remote mountain farms and, at the end, an impressive river landscape. Natural path throughout. In wet weather, fog or snow, do not follow this route.

From the bus terminus Innereriz/Säge, keep heading into the valley and climb behind the holiday homes on a good stepped path through shady forest. At the edge of the forest, beautiful views of the reddish glowing moorland meadows of the Rotmoos nature reserve, the Grüenenbergpass, the pass to Habkern, and the striking Sichle, the pass crossing to Lake Thun. The alpine trail climbs steeply in wide loops to the Heimet Ober Breitwang. Splendid views to Honegg and westwards through Eriz. A good path crosses the high hollow of Hungerschwand under the abruptly towering flühen of the Widderfeld. Yellow and purple gentian, light and dark monkshood blossom here. After the ridge crossing on the alpine road to Wimmisalp. Schibengütsch and Schrattenflue now set the scenic accents. Now through a rock fall zone, then through a forest interspersed with mossy boulders to the huts of Gmeinenwängen.
In alternating ups and downs, the trail leads through sometimes marshy terrain to the Grossenstein hut. From the shoulder of the slope at Luterschwändi, directly below the imposing Hohgant Flühen, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Lucerne Pre-Alps. Then begins the long, sometimes trackless, often somewhat boggy descent via yurts to Baumgarten. A magnificent sycamore maple stands near the hut. The valley hike along the young Emme to Kemmeriboden Bad makes you forget all the efforts of the steep descent.
