Hundsrügg-Panoramaweg

The highest point of this hike through the Sparenmoos moorland up to the Hundsrügg offers fantastic panoramic views of 427 mountain peaks. Depending on the season, there are different discoveries to make along the way: in spring, there is a sea of apple blossom; in summer, contented Simmental cattle; and in autumn, the edible mushrooms that sprout up from the ground in this area.

The approximately 15-kilometre circular hike begins at the Zweisimmen, Sparenmoos bus stop. Initially, a yellow-marked hiking trail leads through a landscape characterised by pastures and woodland. The ascent is spread over several kilometres, with a total elevation gain of around 800 metres. The route thus steadily gains height without entirely losing its open character.

After just over a third of the way, the hiking trail becomes a mountain trail marked in white-red-white. It climbs to the Hundsrügg, where the route reaches its highest point at just over 2,000 metres. The Hundsrügg is also the highest summit in the range south of the Jaunpass and east of the Gastlosen. At this point, the hike’s steepest ascent is over.

From the ridge, the mountain trail descends gradually via Luegle to lower elevations. Open pastures once again alternate with sections of woodland. Towards the end, the route returns to a yellow-marked hiking trail and completes the circuit after just under five hours at the Sparenmoos bus stop.
