Geissfluhgrat — Highest point in the Canton of Aargau

Highlight • Summit

The highest point in the canton of Aargau is right next to the hiking trail, so you have to put up with the three-minute detour.
Unfortunately, from here you do not have the brilliant view as from the Geissflue.

Schafmatt Mountain Lodge

Unfortunately, the mountain restaurant is only open on weekends or for a special occasion.
It is in a great location and has a beautiful garden.

November 17, 2024,Thriller auf dem "Weg der drei Kantone" 👻

It's never easy for me to part with an exciting book - but today I'm hoping for a glimpse of the sun. Start at the Berghaus Schafmatt near Oltingen. The air is fresh and clear, a treat for the lungs. Some say that life isn't worth living without love. I disagree: oxygen takes priority 😉 🥾🥾

There are many free parking spaces within a radius of 50 m from the start of the tour. In the middle of the route you can get refreshments in the Waldgasthaus Chalet Saalhöhe. Very nice moderate tour.

Beautiful mountain trail on a wonderful day.
The highest point in the canton of Aargau is rather inconspicuous, especially since it goes up even further afterwards.
A little further you have a wonderful view to the north from the Geissflue and to the south from the Rohrerplatte.
