GÄRSTHORN

From the Salwald restaurant, you ascend over the Sättli to the Alpe Brischeru. Alternatively, you can also take the path via the Horumatte. At the last huts of Brischeru, the path branches off to the left and leads up to the Chiematte and further to the Gärsthalte. You have now left the tree line behind you, and the path from Brischeru is marked blue and white (mountain trail). Follow the trail markings over the grassy meadows to the cross at "Gämscherlibiel." From there, the path becomes increasingly rocky and steadily rises up to the summit cross. The panorama from above compensates for every drop of sweat.

The descent follows the same route. As an alternative, you can descend from Alpe Brischeru via the Horumatte to the Salwald restaurant. This path passes the chapel at Brischeru and is well signposted.

The hike can also of course be started in Mund (post bus stop). The hiking time is extended by approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.
