Travel Information
In winter the place can only be reached with snow shoes or touring skis. From Brunni (Alpthal) you can get to Furggelen starting at the lower parking (550m ascent, roughly 1.5 hours) or via Holzegg, where you follow signs for Furggelenstock (2.5 hours from Holzegg but great panoramic views) and then descend to Furggelen. Take enough drink (no restaurant in winter) and dress warm. The place is exposed so it will likely be windy. Take a head torch if you plan to stay for sunset!
