The well-known ski touring mountain is also worth hiking in summer. After the Furka pass summit, the beautiful high route leads past idyllic mountain lakes up to Stotzigen Firsten. The descent proceeds leisurely over a broad grassy ridge down into the Witenwasser valley. In the last stretch, follow the tracks of the Furka steam railway to Realp. The area invites a solitary hike in a sparse alpine landscape.
