Mountain hike over the Risete

The mountain path is consistently marked with white-red-white markings. The hiking route starts at the Restaurant Gfellen and leads moderately along the Riesete forest to Alp Risete - the ancient hut under heritage protection is a feast for the eyes. Then follows the sweaty ascent to Blaue Tosse, where in addition to a wonderful panoramic view of the Glarus Alps, Titlis, Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, Fribourg Alps, Jura, and some Mittelland lakes, a summit cross also awaits. Treat yourself to a rest and sign the summit register. Chamois and ibex are often seen in the Risete mountain range. The flora is also extremely diverse. The small raised bog with the dwarf pines below the cross is impressive, as is the section on the south side with the bright limestone rocks. Enjoy this fantastic mountain landscape in peace before you start the descent.

At Alpeli (signpost) there is a shelter with a rest area inviting for a lunch break. The remaining descent first proceeds somewhat steeper through the forest, later more moderately back to Restaurant Gfellen.
