Difficulty

Ascent

South- or northward, depending on the season.

In summer, it is preferable to traverse the grassy and partially forested ridge between Seeschlund and Muscherenschlund from north to south. This way you have a good view to the mighty mountains of the German speaking part of Fribourg. Moreover, you pass the rustic Chalet du Hohberg before you take on the highest summit of the area.

Route description

Zollhaus – Stoss – Ättenberg – Chalet du Hohberg CAS

From the Zollhaus bus station follow the Gurnigel road until Guetemashus on the left-hand side. Pathless ascend in the pastures to enter the forest further up, where you find an old path. Follow the path through the forest. Again in pastures ascend to Wissenbachera (1146 m). Depending on the conditions of the pasture (high or low grass), ascend directly pathless on the north-west ridge via Eggersloch to a street bend (ca. 1265 m) or follow the road to the same point. From Grundbergera a trail branches off to the Stoss alp (cheese dairy). Follow the small road southward and turn right to reach the Stoss summit (P. 1537) pathless. Descend to a saddle (1513 m) and follow the road to Gross Ättenberg. Shortly afterwards leave the hiking trail to ascend the north ridge and to reach the highest point of Ättenberg (1614 m). Southward descend to reach the hiking trail again. Follow the trail to a saddle (1468 m). Either hike directly on faint paths to Ober Hohberg or follow the marked trails up and down and up again to Chalet du Hohberg CAS (1478 m)

Chalet du Hohberg CAS – Spitzhubel and back

From the Chalet you can make a detour to reach Spitzhubel (1556 m) following the south-west ridge (faint paths and clearings). Descend back to Chalet du Hohberg.

Chalet du Hohberg CAS – Hohmattli – Hürlinenfluh – Schwarzsee Gypsera

From the chalet hike west back to P. 1504. From P. 1504 follow a hiking trail to Hohmattli (1794 m) via Ober Hohberg. Continue on the trail to reach two mountain restaurants: the first, Salzmatt, is southward, and the second, Hürlisboden (1507 m) is to the west of Salzmatt. Now hike northward to reach a saddle (ca. 1490 m), and in a short detour you can hike up to Hürlinenfluh (P. 1529, unnamed on the map). From the saddle follow the hiking trail to Schwarzsee for a short while, then take the trail branching off to the right and pass a hut. Descend to the Riggisalpbach and hike through its gorge on a wonderful trail. At the end hike past the church to reach the bus station at Schwarzsee Gypsera.

Variant: Hohmattli – Horners Hürli – Schwarzsee Gypsera

You can also descend on a skiing route off the Kaiseregg hiking area. From Hohmattli follow the ridge southward. At a saddle before P. 1627 descend northward pathless and steeply (35-40°). Traverse to the pastures of Horners Hürli, at first above an escarpment, then below a rock face. Pass the chalet to find a trail through the forest. Again in pastures descend to Hürleni. Continue on the road to Schwarzsee Gypsera; T3+, Hohmattli – Schwarzsee Gypsera 1¼ h.
