And how did the Parpaner Rothorn get its name? Because of the reddish glow in the morning and evening twilight? One thing is certain: the mountain contains various ores, some of which have a reddish shimmer. These were already mined in the region in Roman times.
After the last, unsuccessful mining attempts, mining on the Rothorn ended around 1802. A good 150 years later, however, the mountain was opened up in a new way: by means of a gondola lift. Since then, you can be carried effortlessly up to 2860 metres above sea level. Once you have reached the top, you have a fantastic panorama: in good weather, more than 1000 mountain peaks are visible from the Parpaner Rothorn.
