Summit hike to the Rauflihorn

Naturpark Diemtigtal - The rewarding ascent of the Rauflihorn is characterised by a varied mountain panorama and unexpected views and vistas. 

At the beginning, you hike along the Grimmimutz adventure trail through the home of the Grimmimutz forest dwarf. Although you cover a lot of altitude in a relatively short time from Nidegg, every step you take through the shady mountain forest is worthwhile: along the way you reach vantage points with beautiful views, reach a wild mountain stream waterfall and discover the red, ferruginous mineral springs of the Grimmi water. As soon as you have reached the saddle of the Grimmifurggi, you look down into the neighbouring municipality of St. Stephan and into the Färmeltal. From here follows the last ascent to the summit. Would you have expected such a view? On one side the rocky massif of the Spillgerte, on the other the vastness and width of the Diemtigtal Nature Park.

Our recommended descent takes you back to Grimmifurggi via the same route and then back to the starting point via the GrimmiJutz and Grimmimutz trails.
