Flühmatt

The fast, direct climb to Ristis via the Flühmatt — short, steep, with a stop for the tasty Älplermagronen.

The fast one

If you’re looking for the direct route to Ristis, take the Flühmatt: pretty steep, but quickly up top, with a stop at the Flühmatt restaurant for the tasty Älplermagronen. A compact climb for those who like it efficient.

Tip: ideal when time is short — it gains height quickly. (Route figures to be added.)

On my list but not yet walked myself — a personal report will follow.
