Jöriseen Rundweg
MODERATE (1.9/10)Wagerhus → Junction above Wagerhus
Use this route
This older 9.9 km GPX stops at the junction above Wagerhus: it omits the return down the approach path. It is not the complete Rundweg. Use the SchweizMobil 788 route to plan the full circuit; no straight-line return is included here.

The Joriseen circuit explores the mountain lakes above the Fluela Pass road. This stored 9.9 km reference starts at Wagerhus and returns to the junction above the start, but omits the final descent along the approach path. It does not visit the Gorihorn or Fluela Wisshorn summits. Consult the full SchweizMobil route 788 before planning the outing.
The mapped source includes demanding mountain-hiking sections and a rope-assisted section. Check snow, weather and local trail conditions before departure; the stored elevation profile is not a current condition report.

Terrain Analysis
Surface & Technicality
Gradient describes steepness, not exposure, scrambling, footing or current conditions. Technical difficulty is unknown where no mapped rating is available.
Tree cover and UV
☀️ Little to hide under. About 100% of the route is above the treeline, so wherever the terrain is not shading you there is nothing else to. Sunscreen, a hat and extra water.
Canopy is inferred from elevation against a 2000 m Alpine treeline and from gradient below it, not from observed tree data — treat it as an estimate. It is a different question from the terrain shade above, which is about whether a mountain is between you and the sun at a given time.

Source: TerraClimate 1991–2020 monthly averages. Averages for the area at each point’s elevation (4 km grid, corrected for height). Not a forecast or a report of current trail conditions. These values describe the whole trail's lowest and highest points. Snow at the high point is estimated with a simple snowpack model from these temperatures and precipitation, not observed; steep islands and high summits can hold more snow than it shows. Daylight is for the 15th of each month. Hut, transport and park seasons are separate: check them for your dates.
Averages cannot establish current trail conditions. Check recent local reports, the forecast and restrictions before departure. Snow and ice can persist on shaded sections or arrive outside the usual season.

Safety & Bailouts
We do not have a verified emergency exit plan for this route. A nearby settlement, hut or route endpoint is not necessarily reachable or open. Do not leave the trail based on a straight-line distance or compass direction.
Review possible exits against current local information before your trip. In an emergency, contact local rescue services; this page is not live rescue guidance.
