This beautiful mountain tour starts right at the (paid) parking lot at Göscheneralpsee. Important: Be sure to bring cash, as cashless payments aren't possible at this altitude – at least that's how it was for me today.
Guys, what a dream! This mountain tour was simply fantastic. I can hardly put it into words, but the pictures speak for themselves. I felt like a Chinese person today ;-) I just couldn't stop taking new, amazing photos. It was simply wonderful – everything worked out perfectly.
I also tried out my new, high-top hiking boots for the first time today: the Scarpa Zodiac Tech GTX. I'm very happy with them; they're comfortable and offer excellent support.
I also brought the SmallRig ST20 Pro smartphone mount (Portable Selfie Stick Tripod) with me for the first time. I have to say: it's really useful! The stick has a Bluetooth shutter release that connects to your smartphone, making it easy to take photos and videos without having to constantly tap on your phone. So: great!
About the hike: The first 3 km are on pleasant trails; I would classify this section as a solid T2 mountain hike. From about kilometer 4, the trail becomes significantly rockier, so I would definitely classify this section as a T3. I personally had a lot of fun; I love trails like this, and they were easy to manage.
Towards the end of the tour, the trail becomes easier again and again corresponds to a T2 rating. Surefootedness, good fitness, and alpine experience are absolutely essential on this tour. Hiking poles are also highly recommended.
A quick tip: Apart from the end (if you do the loop like I did), there are only three small benches along the entire route: one at the viewpoint and two just before. Otherwise, there are no other places to sit.
The view of the Alps and Lake Göscheneralp is simply stunning!
