Sulzfluh Trail

Starting in Partnun, you climb over lush pastureland to the entrance of Gamstobel. A small rock step secured with wire ropes requires concentration before the path ascends steeply and, through loose scree, also strenuous towards Sulzfluh. Upon reaching point 2698, a detour to the 2817m high Sulzfluh summit is worthwhile. The panorama compensates for all effort. Across the extensive and barren karst terrain, you follow the scree field along the border to Austria towards Tilisunahütte. The terrain turns gently green again. After a short detour to Tilisunahütte, ascend to Grünen Fürggli, where the border returns to Switzerland. Then the path descends past karst caves and flat limestone walls with a view of the crystal-clear Partnunsee. Passing the lake to the right, you soon reach the starting point in Partnun.
