Future vacation in Switzerland!

Hubschhorn can be climbed in about 3 hours from the Hospice. The mountain is a true landmark of the area, but you will see no signs about the route to climb this mountain. Therefore, as usual, it may be tricky to pinpoint the exact start of the route.

You will start from the road and continue toward the lake Rotelsee which is directly below the peak. The Hospice will be on your left side, see the map below. From the lake, you will see an electric power tower so continue in this direction. There is a water reservoir which will be on your right side.

From the reservoir continue directly up the mountain, there is a hardly visible path in this part of the route, and a few blue marks on rocks. This will take you to the ridge and you will walk for a while along it, but soon the route goes on the southwest side because of huge rocks. After that, you will generally follow the ridge all the way to the summit, and Simplon pass will be on your left side about 1000 meters below. You can see the ridge clearly on the map.

Klein Furkahorn, Switzerland


The Klein Furkahorn (3,026 m) is a mountain of the Urner Alps, overlooking the Furka Pass on the border between the Swiss cantons of Valais and Uri. It lies near the southern end of the Galenstock-Gross Furkahorn chain, east of the Rhone Glacier.

From the Furka Pass a trail leads to its summit.
