    The Rote Wand is the second-highest mountain in the Lechquellengebirge and stands out for its striking summit structure and red limestone. Take the bus along the toll road into the Zugertal to the starting point at Formarinsee.

    From here, the ascent leads up the grassy slopes on the south side to the Lange Furka and continues via the Obere Laguz Alpe to the Oberes Sättele. Surrounded by red limestone and featuring some easy climbing sections, the trail leads higher and higher along the north ridge.

    Once you reach the summit ridge—which is narrow and exposed in places—full concentration is required. With the summit cross already within sight, you must still master the final ascent to 2,704 m. At the summit, you’ll be rewarded with a magnificent 360° panorama. The view back toward the starting point, Lake Formarin, is sure to set your heart racing. The descent follows the same route as the ascent.

    Note: This hike requires a head for heights! There are a few short climbing sections to navigate along the way.
