Grimselpass - Sidelhorn - Grimselpass

The circular hike starts at the Grimselpass and leads via the Husegghütte up to the Sidelhorn. With every meter of altitude, the view of the Grimsel reservoirs, glaciers, and the surrounding Bernese and Valais Alps becomes more impressive. At 2,764 m a.s.l., a spectacular panorama over the Grimsel area and the Goms awaits on the Sidelhorn.

For the return journey, the route leads via the Triebtenseelücke and past the idyllic Triebtenseeli back towards the Grimselpass.
