This sunny walk over Rigidalalp and Planggen, past the Teufelsstein (“Devil’s Rock”) to the SAC Rugghubelhütte (2,295 metres above sea level), affords hikers a wonderful view down into the Hahnen federal no-hunting zone.
Experienced mountaineers may like to carry on from Rugghubel over the Rotgrätli (2,559 metres a.s.l.) up to Bannalp – adding an extra 8 km and 3 hr. 30 min. to the hike.
