Against the backdrop of Bächistock, Leuggelstock offers no breath-taking descents, but a quiet, pleasurable ski tour in alpine scenery. If there is sufficient snow, the "Bächlitalabfahrt" offers a descent with an additional 600 metres of vertical height down to Luchsingen. The summit is also popular among snowshoe hikers; they use the itinerary via the plain north of Oberblegisee.

Route description

Summit station of the Brunnenberg aerial cableway – Leugggelstock
From the summit station of the Brunnenberg aerial cableway (ca. 1100  m) go northward to Unterstafel (1287 m), then north-westward towards Oberblegisee to reach P. 1430. Now ascend north-eastward across the ridge to P. 1662. A short descent brings you to a breach (ca. 1625  m), and ascending north-eastward, you reach the summit.
