It is not only the view of the Fieschergletscher that is worthwhile. The 4-hour circular hike from the top station of the Richinen chairlift via Rinnerhitta, Gletscherblick, Grieschumma back to the top station of the Richinen chairlift is also worth the effort. Idyllic streams cross the path, and wonderful views of 4000m peaks and the Rhone Valley are assured.
