It is a short, but pretty ski tour for the high winter in a multifaceted terrain offering a view to the Alpstein range. If the eastern summit ridge is wind-swept and snow-free, Hochalp can be ascended and descended on the western ridge. The small road to the western summit (mountain restaurant) is mostly ploughed and open for sledging. The steep stretches through the forest require sufficient snow.
Route description
From the bus stop Urnäsch, Dürrenbach (ca. 850 m) follow the road to Schwägalp northward to the bridge across the Urnäsch and then go southward on the road via Steinaueli and Aplis to reach Unter Fischegg. From Unter Fischegg ascend south-westward in pastures, then there is a short stretch through the forest to reach the stables of Unter-Scheieli. Now go westward past Ober-Scheieli until the slope allows a less steep access to the often-wind-swept ridge. Ascending south-eastward on the summer hiking trail, you reach Hochalp.
You can reach Untere Fischegg also from the bus stop Urnäsch, Hüsli (cas. 900 m) at Mittler Rossfall via Urnäschbrücke (870 m) at the power station.
