The tour
After the spectacular start aboard the vintage funicular and views of the Reichenbach falls, make a short ascent to reach the Zwirgi observation deck. The gentle ascent then continues through alpine pastures and mountain forests. At Gschwantenmad a beautiful vista of nature opens up before you with the Rosenlaui glacier and the Wetterhorn. Located at the final destination of the hike is the Rosenlaui settlement with its stately hotel. A visit of the glacier gorge is the ideal way to round off the hike.
