Bleikigrat
The wild classic: an 'easy' alpine hike with ladders over the jagged Bleikigrat from Niederrickenbach.
The wild classic
The tour over the jagged Bleikigrat has everything a hiker’s heart desires. In beautiful Niederrickenbach the Pilgerhaus is a great place for a good morning coffee, before an easy trail leads up to the saddle where the path to the Buochserhorn branches off.
From there the blue-and-white marked trail sets off over the partly exposed Bleikigrat, equipped with ladders. Once you’ve conquered it you can be quite proud — and reward yourself with a melted cheese bread or a piece of cake on the Musenalp.
Tip: those with energy left can close the loop via the Bärenfalle; everyone else takes the train.
On my list but not yet walked myself — a personal report will follow.
