Description by the author

Station de montagne Richinen - Schärflüeh - Griesschumma - station de montagne Richenen

It isn’t only the view of the Fiescher Glacier that is worth the effort but also the three-hour circuit which begins at the Richenen chair lift mountain station via Gletscherblick, Schärflüeh, Griesschumma. Rippling brooks cross the leisurely trail and hikers bask in the spectacular views of the Rhône Valley and the surrounding 4000m peaks. Return to the Richenen chairlift mountain station once the circuit is completed.
