Fantastically beautiful view. You should be free from vertigo 😎

Nice tour to climb. Although it has also been used by many families, the ridge should not be underestimated. Particularly when it is wet and with poor visibility (see pictures), caution is required. Surefootedness, a head for heights and appropriate footwear are mandatory. I would do without a heavy backpack because it is simply more fun. Recommendation: use the luggage transport by ferry across the Gjendesee!

Brilliant views!

The ascent over the ridge is definitely not to be underestimated! Here you stand in front of about 150hm with partly exposed scrambling sections where you have to pull yourself up with both hands and do not always have a secure footing. At the same time, behind you it goes pretty deep down. A head for heights is absolutely necessary.

Sufficient grips and steps available, but if you don't dare to concentrate on climbing again after 3.5 hours, you shouldn't start the tour. It can also be dangerous when it's wet. The view is still great! The path over the rounded summit is quite screety and stretches a bit, but you still have a great view from here.
