Ridge walk to an imposing pyramid

Gross Muttenhorn is the northernmost and highest peak of Muttenhörner. The towering summit is a relatively easy target for alpine hikers. The ridge walk with the beautiful view offers remnants of military activity and a few exposed passages. From the summit you have a surprising view to the Rotondo range in the south and to Galenstock in the north as well as down to the Rhone and Urseren valleys.

Route description

Furkapass – P. 2771 above Tälligrat

From Furkapass walk on a good trail west of Blauberg into the valley of Muttgletscher. The wide trail disappears in the moraine fields, but a hiking path leads to the bifurcation at P. 2503. From here ascend to Tällilücke and on to P. 2771 above Tälligrat (bifurcation with signpost; marked until this point).

P. 2771 above Tälligrat – Gross Muttenhorn

From P. 2771 on a distinct path hike slightly downhill around the south side of Tällistock to the ridge between Tällistock and Gross Muttenhorn. Now follow the occasionally exposed and eroding, but large west ridge of Gross Muttenhorn up and down to the rocky structure of P. 2985. Ca. 100 m after this point jagged rocks bar the way on the ridge. A faint path leads around theses rocks: 30 metres up and down on the south side on steep and partly slippery slopes. Behind the jagged rocks continue on the ridge to the summit.

Descent

Descend on the same route back to Furkapass.

Variant from Oberwald to Gross Muttenhorn

From Oberwald hike via Hungerberg, Gale and Tälligrat to the main route and the bifurcation at P. 2771. 5 h from Oberwald station to the summit.
