Description

This route fully lives up to its name (Adventure Path), tackling 900 vertical metres over a distance of 4.1 km.

In other words, a steep descent - or a challenging climb.

Either way, it promises a thrilling hike.

The view from the Ritzengrat ridge into the small and secluded Tufterkumme valley may reveal a surprise or two - such as a sighting of chamois. Impressive views of the Matterhorn, Weisshorn and other dramatic peaks. equipment We recommend: * Good footwear * Hiking poles (optional) # Clothing suitable for the weather (always carry a waterproof) * Binoculars
