Tough but Love it
Amazing views of my favorite lake in the world and of the Urner Alpen behind it. Difficult ascent from Flüelen (my own fault, could’ve started from Oberaxen), a blue trail almost the whole way and involved frequent use of hands to hoist myself up. Be careful if you choose to take the Buggialp-Sisikon route down as the trail gets really hard to follow around Buggialp. Used Alltrails to keep me on the trail around there.
Beautiful peak with nice view on the lake
Awesome view!
From Rimenstalden it is a rather steep hike up to Rophaien (about 3 hours). But you will be rewarded with a great view.
