The tour on the Großer Widderstein (2,533 m) is not an insider's tip, but the crisp summit rise and the magnificent panoramic view make up for the fact that a lot can be going on at the weekend! If you are busy on such days, it is best to wear a helmet because there are always a few crazy people who do not behave properly. So definitely have the right equipment with you!

Fantastic natural landscape, on a sunny May day only a little tourism, the last 400hm on the Widderstein are feasible only with frequent use of hands and risk-taking. Large snowfields cover the lavishly marked trails and make a climb in May even more difficult.
