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.

Equipment / Equipment rent

Good mountain boots, clothing appropriate to the weather (sun/rain protection), hiking poles if necessary, binoculars if necessary, pocket pharmacy, rucksack with food and enough drinks for the journey

Signalization

Follow the route from Senggiweid via Würzi through the forest. The mountain trail winds in many bends up to Alp Grimmi and leads through the Grimmiwasser to the Grimmifurggi pass. From here you reach the summit of the Rauflihorn in just under an hour. To avoid having to cross a pasture with livestock guarding dogs in the Nessli area, we recommend that you first take the same route back to Grimmifurggi, then head towards the Grimmialp mountain railway mountain station and then follow the GrimmiJutz and Grimmimutz adventure trails into the valley. The trail is signposted as a mountain trail with yellow direction indicators or trail markings.
