Blausee

Highlight • Lake

The small mountain lake glows in different shades of blue. It's not called the "Pearl" for nothing. When there's no wind, the surrounding mountains are reflected in the lake.

Abgschütz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Magnificent view of the surrounding mountains, such as the Pilatus or the Titlis. There is also a small shelter here in case the bad weather catches you by surprise.

The Hochstollen is a 2,481-meter-high mountain in the Uri Alps near Melchsee-Frutt. It offers a rewarding yet challenging hike with breathtaking views of the Obwalden mountain panorama. The summit rewards with distant views as far as Titlis and Pilatus. The climb is especially popular in summer.

Glogghüs Ridge Traverse

Highlight • Climb

The ridge crossing over the Rothorn and Glogghues above the Melchsee is very demanding. You move here in high alpine terrain, which I would describe as a level of difficulty T4-T5 / I. When it's wet you should definitely leave it alone. The descent from the Rothorn or in the opposite direction from the Glogghues is very exposed, absolute caution and concentration is required here. Any mistake would be fatal and probably the last. But for those who enjoy alpine hiking and climbing, it is certainly a real treat.
