POI details
From the Hannigalp, hike uphill towards the Bärgjilift and then follow the trail to the right to Kleine Furgge, continuing uphill past the viewpoint above the Furggen lifts to Grosse Furgge. Along the ridge, continue hiking over rocky terrain to the Wannihorn. At over 2600 m above sea level, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the magnificent mountain scenery. Your return route leads below the previous trail, across the ski slope through the larch forest by Härdera and past the playground back to Hannigalp.
