We start from Niederrickenbach Dorf (1200m) in direction of Ahorn, then Brisenhaus SAC, and then the top Brisen (2400m)

The ascent of 1200m lasts about 8 km - at slow pace we should be at the top for lunch. Bring your own lunch.

The descent will go through an exposed path for about 1km.
(see here: https://www.haldigrat.ch/images/Wandern/zickzack_weg/WandernZickZackWeg_22.jpg)

Then we arrive in Haldigrat (restaurant) at the top of the chairlift that goes down to Alpboden (escape route for those who do not want to go down hill)
The chairlift is run privately, and does not take the GA or Half-tax.
