Hiking to Augstmatthorn is not only about the physical journey but also about the sense of accomplishment you'll feel upon reaching the summit. The breathtaking views become a well-earned reward for your efforts. While the most popular hike to Augstmathorn begins in Harder Kulm, I can truly recommend the hike from Lombachalp (better, quicker and cheeper) - moderate 6.3km circular hike with 564m of elevation gain.
