Solitary tour in the Trift region
On beautiful days, the Trift aerial cableway is very busy carrying hikers up, and once they arrive at the top, they all flock to the famous Trift bridge. Whoever branches off towards Radlefshoren, a few steps outside the summit station, normally enjoys a quiet day on a very charming summit in a rarely visited mountain region.

Tickets for the Triftbahn are best bought online in advance, otherwise you have to expect very long waiting times: www.grimselwelt.ch/bahnen/triftbahn
- Difficulty / Material
-
On the ascent there are long pathless passages, which with bad visibility make orientation difficult. The tracks between the Triftwasser and the Mälchsteinen are heavily overgrown during the growing season and may be difficult to find. Since the path is not maintained, they may become even less clear over time.
Grass, scree and some scrambling characterise the steep south-east face of the summit. In the upper part of the descent to Gadmen you encounter vast scree slopes.

Graui Stöckli: this is a mountain with several summits. The western summit (2714 m), which could also be climbed from the aforementioned saddle at P. 2500, is not recommended due to the very unstable terrain. It is more advisable to climb P. 2775 starting from Windegghütte SAC: cross Triftbrücke, then ascend pathless through the valley called Drosi to the saddle between P. 2714 and P. 2775. Continue on the western ridge to the summit (2775 m). Descend on the north-east ridge and go on to Gadenlouwisee. T5.
