Description
It goes up the steep valley of the Mellichbach, where chamois often stay. On the steep ascent at the foot of the Rimpfischhorn only very tough pioneers live: pioneer plants, lichens, and occasionally a bird of prey circles in the clear air. From the Längflue glacier, the cold draft of the eternal ice blows down.
Past the nameless little lake, it goes up to the gap at the Pfulwe. The area is a popular ski touring and freeride area in winter. The descent back to the green of the Fluhalp offers a view of the Schwarzgrat at Fluehorn.
