Wirzweli Panoramic Circular Trail

This scenic circular walk follows the Wirzweligrat to Gummenalp, then returns to Wirzweli through flower-filled alpine meadows and along varied mountain trails.

The circular walk begins among the houses at Wirzweli mountain station. Before long, the mountain trail climbs across alpine pastures to the Wirzweligrat. After around an hour, the highest point is reached near Gummen at 1,584 m. The panorama opens up at the viewpoint near Gummenalp, beyond which flower-filled alpine meadows line the trail.

The route continues via Rohne and Dürrenboden, with steady ascents and descents through open alpine terrain. A narrow mountain trail makes up most of the circuit, which is just under ten kilometres long. The trail eventually descends to Alp Langboden, where the Langbodenstübli stands directly on the route.

The route continues through Hinter Huismatt onto the Wetterhexenweg and briefly through woodland. After passing the barbecue site, the circuit returns to Wirzweli. The chapel stands a few steps before the mountain station, where the walk of just over three hours ends.
