Start: Fleschen, Mittelstation

This partly pathless ascent is in a wild high-mountain landscape and contrasts with the marked route on the south side to the Risihorn, which rather leads over the gentle valley flank of the Goms.

Starting point: Steinmann at "Gletscherblick" (2362 m), or the mountain station of the chairlift.Route (RTE): From the striking Steinmann at "Gletscherblick" (P.2362), follow the marked trail to the Finsteraarhorn hut (opened 19 July 2009) to P.2403 with a striking stone - the "Schärflüe". From this spot there is a magnificent view of the rugged Fieschergletscher with the Finsteraarhorn. To the east, the "Steinigi Chumma" is overlooked by imposing ridge towers. The following pathless ascent leads over partly striking ridges in a generally easterly direction to the summit of the Risihorn. The partly unstable scree fields require careful ascent.

Descent: The descent leads along the secured and marked mountain trail to the mountain station of the chairlift.
