This circular route starts at the Furka Pass and first leads gently, then steeper up to the Tällilücke. Up to the Tällistock, it goes up a short distance further. Afterwards, the route continues over the Tälligrat down to Gale and via Liessland back to the starting point.
IMPORTANT: The Muttbach bridge (military road Furka Pass towards Tälligrat) can no longer be crossed due to climate change (bridge foundations are shifting). However, on site, a small detour signaled by cairns can be found - this makes crossing the stream possible.

Directions
We start our route at the Furka Pass and hike south along the marked path. We cross the many small branches of the Mussbach and soon find ourselves at a junction where we keep left. A path then leads steeply up to the Tällilücke and further left, then at the highest point of the route, right to the Tälligrat.
At the crossroads in Gale, we turn right, soon cross the Lengesbach, and now circle the Tällilücke on the northeast side. At the following fork, we go right, thus reaching the junction already known from the ascent. Then it goes back along the familiar path to the Furka Pass.

Safety guidelines
The use of hiking trails is at your own risk. Obergoms Tourismus AG declines all liability and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website. Carry a hiking map with you or download the complete description of the hiking trail with a large-scale map. Use only signposted paths and observe all markings and signs - for your own safety, to protect the landscape, and out of respect for wildlife. Behave considerately towards other trail users. Take your waste and that of others with you. Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather conditions, it is better to turn back early. Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even on cloudy days. Plan your route carefully and thoroughly. Inform yourself beforehand about the current conditions and weather situation. The Summer Report provides valuable information from the region.
