The path to the Zuestoll is a blue/white marked path and leads up a very cool climbing section secured with ropes right at the beginning 😄. It continues on slightly slippery paths in serpentines over the meadow ridge. Then follows another cool section over a short ridge secured with a rope (T4-) and a rocky step in the short descent afterwards to the summit structure. Then continue again over serpentines and shortly before the summit there is another very short climbing step secured with a rope and you are already at the summit of the Zuestoll. During the climb you have the view of Toggenburg and the Alpstein behind you the whole time and at the top of the summit the view of Walensee, Sarganserland, Flumserberge and Glarus is clear, wonderful views 😍. A head for heights and surefootedness are a must and is only recommended in dry conditions.

Steep tooth. The most interesting route of the 7 Churfirsten. Exposed areas are secured with ropes, but man / woman should be free from giddiness.

The view is impressive. Beware of moisture - children's experience - I would back up kids.
