    Tips

    The path from Oberlauelen up to the Klimenshorn is quite steep and it is amazing how fast you can gain altitude through the slope. For the way it needs already a little head for heights, he is secured in some places with chains, a staircase it is necessary to climb high and partly to climb rocky passages with big steps, or easy Kraxelei. When it's wet, especially those rocky passages can be slippery. The path from Oberlauelen to Klimsenhorn is in the shadow in the morning and therefore ideal for hot summer days. When the snow is falling through the steep sloping terrain avalanche danger and then to avoid.

        Warning!!! The climb is extremely dangerous and can be life-threatening even in the best conditions. There are dangerous climbing sections for over a kilometer. Only for very, very experienced climbers! A no-go with children!!!
