Why do we find marine shells on mountain peaks? These and many other questions are answered on 12 informative panels along the approximately 5 km long geological circular trail around the Gamserrugg. During the alpine summer, the trail leads right through pastures grazed by cattle and sheep. Very often, the very active marmots can also be observed. Hiking time about 3 hours.
The geological circular trail Gamserrugg is accessible – depending on snow melt – from the end of June until about mid-October. The starting point is Gamsalp at 1,770 meters above sea level, which can be conveniently reached by two chairlifts. There is a place to eat at the Berggasthaus Gamsalp before or after the hike.
