The climb to Rossweidhöchi is long and steep - but all the more varied. At the beginning you quickly gain altitude on the asphalted serpentines and the view of Lake Walen gets better with every meter. At the mountain station of the cable car you have another opportunity to fill up your bidons before heading into the lonely and natural part. The area becomes increasingly rugged. Huge boulders rest on the moss-covered forest floor. Past rugged rock faces and lonely alpine huts, it gets steeper and steeper to the top. Once you get to the top, you have to earn the descent. On the first part of the descent you have to push and carry. But the view makes up for all the exertion. From Alp Feldrederten you can roll down almost 900 meters in altitude on a perfect gravel road and enjoy!

Starting in summer 2025, pushing and carrying will no longer be necessary from Rossweidhöchi onward. There will now be a single trail.
