Rätschenfluh - panoramic summit of the highest class

The route starts at the mountain restaurant Schafberg Hüsli in Gargellen. From here, follow the signs towards Gafierjoch. The hike leads us below the Gargellner Köpfe, past the Schafbergsee (reservoir pond), until after about half an hour we reach the Gafierjoch (2415 m) and cross the border into Switzerland. Now it goes downhill on the path towards Rätschenjoch (2602 m). At about 2300 m, the path then crosses to the left into flat terrain. Here you will find geological history to touch. Further along the border between the dark gneiss and the light limestone. Before the path steeply ascends left to the Rätschenjoch, follow the trail to the right to the summit of the Rätschenfluh. Over bright stone slabs and paths covered with scree, you reach the flat summit plateau of the Rätschenfluh from the fork in about 20 minutes. Return to the starting point on the same path.
