Viewing point Furggen

Enjoy a view of the fantastic mountain world around Grächen and, with a bit of luck, the sight of ibex and chamois - the Furggen is the perfect viewpoint for this.

Arrive at Hannigalp with the unique fairytale cable car and after a 45-minute walk in the summer sun you have reached the Furggen. There you can enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the surrounding mountains to the full. Ibex, chamois and marmots also like to linger here, and with a bit of luck you can marvel at them.

In winter, you can easily reach the viewpoint with the Furggen ski lift and enjoy the breathtaking view over the Saas-, Matter- and Vispertal.
