Schafberg above Realp
Description
The ski tour starts in Realp and initially follows the Furka Pass Road for the most part. Through several hairpin turns, you steadily gain elevation and eventually reach the old Hotel Galenstock. Here, the route leaves the pass road and branches off to the right toward Tätsch.
From Tätsch, the ascent continues along the summer hiking trail through open terrain. As you gain altitude, the view of the surrounding mountains and the Furka region opens up. Depending on conditions, there are different options for the rest of the ascent.
A more challenging alternative leads directly from Tätsch over the Ochsenalp and then continues upward along the “Auf den Stöcken” ridge. This route is steeper and requires safe conditions.
For the descent, you can generally take the same route back to Realp. Alternatively, depending on snow conditions and terrain, you can also descend via Tiefenbach.
