The ridge trail on the Niederhorn is a memorable experience. On a well-secured route, it leads over steep, rugged rocks and allows you to look down freely into the Justistal Valley far below. For anyone who gazes into the distance, the sublime and breathtaking panorama with the Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau, the Blüemlisalp Massif, the Niesen, and lots more, opens up.
