Damüls Faschina | Sunrise and sunset hike to the Sünserspitze

Via the Alpe Portla and the Sünsalpe you reach the idyllically situated Sünsersee. Continue to the Sünserspitze, from which you have a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains. The hike is ideal for sunrises and sunsets.

Directions
The parking lot that offers itself as a starting point is located approx. 300 m from the Furkajoch in the direction of Damüls on the Furkastraße. From here, Alpe Portla is already visible on the opposite slope. It goes past this first up to the Portlafürkele. Here the path splits and you get to the idyllically situated Sünsersee. On a meadow path it goes steeply up until the path forks. Here you turn left, first crossing magnificent mountain meadow slopes on an almost level path before a last, unproblematic climb leads to the Sünserspitze.
