Tips
So what. Succeeded. The right decision was to take the gondola first. So I still had a lot of grains to hike down completely. Hamma climb. Climbing properly was the order of the day. (Wanderlatin .... 😇😇😅😅). Really 💪. Weather was fantastic. A dream. The big man showed his cap the whole time. If you love alpine hiking, you CANNOT pass by the Hörnlihütte ....... ❤❤❤
