Only a few dare to take on the challenge of climbing all seven Churfirsten peaks in a single day. These intrepid hikers start early in the morning in Starkenbach (890 m), with the goal of reaching the Chäserrugg after an ascent of around 3,600 m and a route of almost 30 kilometres.

The gentle start of the hike through the forest and over the lush grassy ridge to the first peak, the Selun (2,204 m), is the perfect start to this special day. The hike then continues towards the Frümsel (2,266 m); a steep spike, short but intense. Once at the top, it's time for breakfast with a unique view. In the far distance you can now already make out the day's destination, but the route first covers some exciting and varied peaks. The trail between the individual Churfirsten peaks takes hikers over impressive karst fields, past rock faces and peacefully grazing cows which exude a soothing feeling of calmness.
The wide ridge of the Brisi (2,277 m) is steep and long. If you are on touring skis in winter, you should definitely visit this peak when it is covered with snow. On the Brisi it is worth looking towards the west to the starting point of the hike. When this point is reached, half of the tour is already accomplished!

The second part of the hike is now somewhat more intense, but this is compensated by the constantly fabulous panorama. The sporty descent from the Brisi is the optimum way to prepare for the technically most demanding of all the Churfirsten – the Zuestoll (2,234 m). An Alpine hiking trail leads to its summit, and once at the top, the Selun is finally further away than the final destination, the Chäserrugg.
The trail up to the Schibenstoll (2,234 m) is long and strenuous. At the top you can enjoy the view with the comforting certainty that the last two Churfirsten only require one more ascent, thanks to a connecting ridge. On the way through the Gluristal towards the Sattel (2,045 m) you hike through unspoilt nature and may even see a few ibexes bathing in the sun. On your right the rock face of the Schibenstoll, which is 70 metres lower in altitude, always shows exactly how far it is to the summit of the Hinterrugg (2,306 m). In contrast to the Churfirsten you have already scaled, you can enjoy the view of the refreshing Walensee early on during the ascent to Hinterrugg. The closer you get to the second-last summit, the more majestic the views of the surrounding mountains become.

The summit building by Herzog & de Meuron is only a stone's throw away and you can really enjoy the "finish" from Hinterrugg to Chäserrugg. You have achieved what you set out to do and now belong to the elite circle of "Kaiserroute finishers".
