The Vilser Kegel offers beautiful views of the Vils Valley, towards the Zugspitze, and the southern massif with the Grosse Schlicke. At the same time, it's beautifully quiet, as it's less touristy.

The route up here is classified as T5 in Komoot. I can't agree with that; I'd say it's closer to T3 to T4.

If you're unsure whether you can manage it: After about 100 meters of ascent from the Hundsarschjoch, you reach a small "staircase" made of iron in the rock. If you can walk up and down (!) it without feeling awkward, you'll manage the rest.

I personally found the way up a bit more challenging than the way down, as the zigzags make it difficult to see what's next. Going down, in my opinion, isn't problematic. However, you definitely need to be sure-footed and have a head for heights.

This assessment only applies in dry conditions. If the paths are wet, I would strongly advise against climbing.

Magnificent view of the Füssen Lake District. In the distance you can also see Neuschwanstein Castle.

From Vils you can climb here in a less demanding tour and will be rewarded at the summit with a great mountain panorama and a great view of Füssen and the lakes Hopfensee, Weipensee, Forggensee and Bannwaldsee.
