Bussalp via Spillmatten and Feld to Waldspitz

Route: Bussalp – Spillmatten – Feld – Waldspitz

The starting point for this varied hike is Bussalp. Via the Feld viewpoint at over 2,160 metres above sea level and Rotenegg, the trail leads through rustic landscapes and numerous colourful seas of flowers to the destination of the hike – Waldspitz.

The Bussalp bus stop is the starting point for this hike. Once you have passed the inviting restaurant, the hiking signpost points up towards the viewpoint Feld. The wide path soon turns into a narrow hiking trail, which leads along the gurgling mountain brooks and lined with colourful mountain flowers up to the first intermediate destination: the viewpoint Feld. Shortly before that, a metal footbridge makes it easier to cross a small ditch. Your legs will be grateful for this, as they already have around 300 metres of altitude behind them. That's why you should take a short break at the viewpoint to enjoy the view and recharge your batteries.

The section down to Rothenegg reveals some natural beauty along the way. There is the rustic landscape with numerous large boulders between which the narrow hiking trail winds. Along the route, numerous flower species once again show their colourful blooms. Small brooks have to be crossed again and again. Then comes the actual descent down to Spillmatten. This trail section has a partially rough character. But hikers are rewarded again and again with the colourful splendour of the blue gentian or the yellow alpine anemone.

Then, it’s time for a little more relaxation for the legs. The hiking trail leads up and down through a fairytale-like forest with small hills and hollows. Several flower fields provide variety on the way towards Waldspitz. And suddenly the forest path joins the access road to the hiking destination. On the marl surface, which is now pleasant for tired legs and with a view of the magnificent mountain scenery, there are only a few minutes' walk to go before the Waldspitz bus stop and the restaurant of the same name come into view.
