The 2-day tour in detail
Day 1: Iffigenalp to the Wildstrubel SAC mountain hut
The adventure kicks off at Iffigenalp. The mountain trail winds its way along a historic mule track, and on past the impressive rock face towards the Rawil Pass. A lively waterfall refreshes the senses as you ascend. Rawilseeleni Lake and its barren stone backdrop, surrounded by majestic peaks, is a highlight. This is the perfect spot for a picnic and a refreshing break – for those who dare to dip their toes in the ice-cold mountain water. And then just 300 metres further and you’ve reached your destination for the day.
Accommodation: Romantic sunset with a cosy cabin feeling
Spend the night in the Wildstrubel mountain hut at an impressive 2,800 metres above sea level. As the sun sets behind the mountain peaks, swathing the sky in picturesque colours, the starry heavens slowly begin to twinkle. Savour local delicacies and swap tales with like-minded adventurers – the perfect opportunity to share your unforgettable experiences of the day and to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the mountains with your fellow hikers.
Day 2: Wildstrubel SAC mountain hut to Simmen Falls
On the second day, the trail continues over the Tierbergsattel through the wild and rocky Tierberg valley, down to the rushing glacier stream. The source of this stream is in the Plaine-Morte glacier, located slightly higher up the mountain. The highlight of the day is the picturesque Flueseeli, idyllically nestled on an modest plateau. But the hike isn’t over yet – the descent to the Simmen Falls is still to come. Water spray is your constant companion as you descend to the valley on your way home, where your tired legs will surely be grateful for the time spent in nature.
