Climbing section to Rautispitz

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

You should be free from giddiness and sure-footed, then you can enjoy the ascent or descent

Rautispitz (2,283 m)

Highlight • Summit

Fantastic ski touring mountain where the approach is rather shady (that means powder😜)

View from the ridge between Rautispitz and Wiggis

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Great views on a not that easy way. You should already have Alpine experience here. It is easier via the Obersee to the Rautispitz for (almost) the same view.

Rock Faces on the Ascent to Rautispitz

Highlight (Segment) • Canyon

It feels like being in a huge canyon. It is especially nice when - like us - you are lucky and not many hikers are on the way. Then you can enjoy an incredibly beautiful silence.

Saturday. Nice weather. Switzerland. A triple S that should open this year's mountain season.

I spent a long time researching where the journey should go. Not one of the well-known tourist magnets, not too high but with a training character. I didn't want to drive too far either, so the area south of Zurich was left.
Obersee and Rautispitz immediately …

Very beautiful but technically demanding hike. The ascent begins with a service road, but after 45 minutes you branch off onto the Alpine hiking trail. Due to the typical karst geogology, the path turns into a mixture of large boulders interspersed with damp loamy earth. It had rained the day before, so I had the choice of sliding on clay …

I've been planning this tour for a few weeks, but I kept having to postpone it. Today I finally did it. We set off with freshly soled hiking boots 🥳.
