The "eleventh" Churfirst

The Werdenberg mountain range (with, among others, Gross and Chli Fulfirst) is a continuation of the Churfirsten chain. It offers a view down to the Seez valley and the possibility to observe game. The area around Margelchopf and Fulfirst especially is a multifaceted landscape, which was once a huge sanctuary for animals reaching from Speer to Gonzen. Moreover, at the foot of Fulfirst it is possible to find Edelweiss.

Route description

Malbun - Glanna P. 2008

From Berghaus Malbun ascend on marked trails via Untersäss to P. 1743 (Alp Obersäss). Past Hahnenspil go to the bifurcation at P. 1959 (Bi den Seen). Continue to P. 2008, where the marked mountain hiking trail descends.

Glanna (P. 2008) - Fulfirst - Glanna

From P. 2008 continue south-westward on a faint path to reach the north-east ridge of Fulfirst. Follow this moderately steep ridge to Ober Platte (ca. 2200 m). On faint trails south-westward and later steep on scree to the saddle between Gross Fulfirst und Chli Fulfirst. From here an exposed and faint trail leads to the summit.

Variant: NE-ridge

From Ober Platte (ca. 2200 m) the NE-ridge directly to the summit becomes more and more steep and at the end exposed (T5+).

Descent

The descent is on the ascent. One can also follow the basin of Glanna in all its length.

Time: Berghaus Malbun - Hanenspil - Glanna - Fulfirst: 3½ h

Descent Fulfirst - Berghaus Malbun: 2½ h

Difficulty / Material: The difficulties are concentrated on the ascent of the summit structure (T4+). From the saddle between Chli Fulfirst and Gross Fulfirst a faint path leads through exposed dangerous schrofen. Therefore, the ascent of the summit requires dry and snow-free conditions around the summit.

Ascending on the northeast ridge presents some technically not very difficult, but very exposed passages (T5+).

Waypoints

Fulfirstlücke (2310 m)

Neighbor summit

Chli Fulfirst (2368 m)

This is a short detour from "Fulfirstlücke", exposed passages, T4+.

Margelchopf (2164 m)

Margelchopf is easily accessible over a well-equipped escarpment. The summit is a large plain, almost as wide as a football field. From P. 1959 (Bi den Seen) take the hiking trail westward to reach Isisizgrat. From there, overcoming an escarpment on a steep trail equipped with chains, you reach the summit (T3).
