Hoi hikers,

Let's celebrate the Swiss National Day with the famous Churfirsten challenge with over 4000 hm ascent. As the cable car from Chäserugg operates until late night, we don't have to run. But it will be a hard and fast hike nevertheless, so make sure you join in good condition.

Challenge description:

Anyone who has conquered all seven Churfirsten peaks deserves a special reward: a Kägi finisher's gift and a Peak Hunter glass – a sweet token of appreciation for your perseverance, your summit spirit, and your successful completion of the Kaiser Route.
