The view on the pass (Furggele 2395 m above sea level) at the Ortstock is beautiful. The ascent from the Glattalpsee up to the pass leads over boulders, the top section has a right slope and on the fine gravel underground it still requires good surefootedness. The further ascent from the pass to the Ortstock itself is then a bit more leisurely. Although also on scree and gravel, but the slope is a bit gentler, there is still a short climb and soon you are up at the summit cross. The view up there is just stunningly beautiful: -) !!!!
