The hike first leads to Bruchegg, and from here you take the chairlift up to Hohbiel. Now it takes about one and a half hours to walk across alpine meadows to the ridge and up to the Sparrhorn. The ascent presents no great difficulties and is also suitable for children who are sure-footed.
From the summit of the Sparrhorn at 3021 metres above sea level, a panoramic view opens up: The jags of the Fusshörner are within reach, further down the Oberaletsch glacier can be seen and in the distance the four-thousand-metre peaks of the Matterhorn, Weisshorn, Dom and Monte Rosa, among others, can be seen.
The chairlift to Hohbiel is in operation from Thursday to Sunday during the summer months.
By the way: With the attractive SBB “Hike’n’Rail” offer Gipfelsturm aufs Sparrhorn, you benefit from great discounts on public transport to the region and the cable car ride on the Belalp. More information can be found here
