Albert-Heim-Hütte
Description
From Realp, you climb up on the road towards the Furka Pass. Just under 600 meters in altitude are overcome in this way, although the post bus could also be used here. From Tiefenbach, however, your own muscle power is finally required. The alpine road rides up the mountain in serpentines, and finally you reach the Albert-Heim-Hütte on a gravel road. After a rest, you initially follow the ascent route downhill to the alpine road. Here, turn left onto the high-level trail, which soon becomes narrower and eventually rides through the avalanche barriers and later down to Realp on a wonderful single trail.

The approach to the Albert Heim hut involves a lot of pushing for me as an over-60 rider. But it's worth it. The path and the panorama are fantastic.
The descent through the Bannwald forest to Realp is, as you know, closed to MTBs. However, it is worth continuing to ride along the Urseren Höhenweg and taking the descent towards Hospental (official route). A really fun, flowy trail.
