Rophaien - Alplersee

West of the frequently visited Lidernen range, the small, open cableway to the Buggialp opens up some spectacular alpine hikes high above Lake Lucerne. However, all of them require a certain sense of direction and surefootedness. One of them first leads on faint trails around the Buggigrat and the Blutt Stöckli. The final climb to the striking summit cross on the Rophaien is steep and requires full concentration again. The descent down to the small mountain village of Riemenstalden can be combined with a refreshing swim in the idyllically situated Alplersee.
