Description

This route is adventurous. Over 4.1 km you overcome about 900 meters of elevation. That means it goes steeply downhill. Or uphill. Both are exciting. The view from Ritzengrat into the remote and lonely little Tufterkumme valley can hold surprises. Perhaps chamois are on the move.

The view of the Matterhorn, the Weisshorn and the other mountain giants is impressive.
