The views from this summit are really impressive, beautiful and really gigantic and extend extremely far, a great summit that also offers enough space to make yourself comfortable and marvel at the many surrounding peaks.
The three earthy paths that lead to the summit are no problem when it is dry. From Älpli, a blue/white marked path leads up to the summit, which is somewhat steeper in places and is therefore definitely better walked in an upward direction when it is wet, but otherwise it is not witchcraft and only requires a minimal head for heights, if at all.

The view from the Vilan is fantastic. You have a panoramic view down into the Rhine Valley and countless mountains, towards Graubünden, Glarus, St. Gallen and even further. The climb is steep, but easy to do and there is also a comfortable bench at the summit where you can rest.

Great destination for the weekend too because it's not overcrowded, e.g. the Pizol. If you want to take the train up, you should reserve in advance.
