Flueseeli - Tierbergsattel - Iffigenalp

Take the bus or walk to the starting point at the Simmen Falls. Right at the start, you follow an alpine road to the Siebenbrunnen, the source of the Simme. At the foot of the mighty limestone wall, the Simme emerges foaming white. It's worth stopping for refreshments here, because now it gets steep. On a partly exposed mountain path (some parts secured with ropes), accompanied by the roar of the waterfalls, the trail climbs steeply up to Flueseeli, which lies at 2,045 m above sea level. Coming from below, it's hard to imagine such open ground with a mountain lake. The lake is surrounded by towering rock faces to the south and an open view to the north of Lenk. The path climbs again to Rezligletscherseeli. The stream here is crossed over a bridge. This bridge must be crossed by midday, as the water can rise so high in the afternoon that the bridge is flooded. Through the Tierberg, you walk step by step through the stony area towards the Tierbergsattel, the highest point. Once you reach the top of the saddle, you have a clear view of the path behind you as well as the Rawilseeleni on the other side of the saddle. And the view can wander much further over the Rawil Pass and the Plan des Roses plain towards Valais.

Now it's all downhill. Past the Rawilseeleni, the path from the Blatti hut leads somewhat exposed along a steep rock face. Here, the path has been blasted into the rock and, where necessary, fixed ropes provide more safety. It is also worth stopping to enjoy the view of the Iffig valley. Once you reach the bottom, the Berghaus Iffigenalp is an excellent place to stop at the end of the tour.

From here, take the bus to Lenk or continue on foot.
