From Rinderhütte the path leads uphill to Rinderhalde and then winds as a narrow trail behind the “Majingbärgji” and from Flüespitz through the Tschafinuwald to Leukerbad.
From the mountain station Rinderhütte, the path begins with an ascent to Rinderhalde. Here, hikers are rewarded with a picturesque view before the trail narrows into a narrow, more demanding path. Surefootedness and a head for heights are now required as the trail winds down below the impressive Majinghorn towards Flüespitz.
Upon reaching Flüespitz, it continues downhill, where the path runs below the idyllic Majingalp. The descent leads through the Tschafinuwald, which offers a pleasant cooling with its shady spots. Finally, you reach the spa and continue to Leukerbad. There, several restaurants invite you to take a well-deserved break, to regain strength with delicious food and refreshing drinks and to reflect on the hike.
Author’s recommendation
At Flüespitz you can extend the hike via the Flüealp/Clabinualp.
