Gummfluh, Mountain summit in canton Vaud, Switzerland
Description
Gummfluh is a mountain summit in the western Bernese Alps rising to about 2458 meters with distinctive limestone cliffs. The peak lies between Château d'Oex and Gstaad and features several marked hiking routes.
History
The mountain became part of a conservation area when its northern slopes were included in La Pierreuse nature reserve. This protection was established to safeguard the local plant and animal life in the western Alps.
Culture
The peak serves as a training ground for climbers who practice on its limestone rock faces. The cliffs draw mountaineers from the region who use the natural features to develop their skills.
Practical
The main access route begins from the Chalberhöni parking area and requires solid hiking skills due to exposed sections. Good footwear and careful planning are essential since parts of the path cross unprotected steep terrain.
Did you know?
The peak straddles the boundary between two Swiss cantons, making it a geographic transition point that many hikers overlook. Few visitors realize it ranks as one of the highest points within the Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut Regional Nature Park.
