The high-altitude trail is only partially secured with cable ropes, so surefootedness and a head for heights are required. Amazing views 😍.

Great section - good for testing the head for heights and surefootedness for anyone aiming for Säntis.

Cheers to the Alpstein! I've known this beautiful, impressive, and adventurous region for over 50 years. There isn't a trail we haven't walked. They've always been beautiful, if sometimes challenging, tours. The trails are always very well maintained. THANK YOU!But every mountain hiker must be aware of one thing: this isn't a forest and meadow hiking area. With proper and responsible preparation, equipment, and self-assessment, the Alpstein isn't dangerous, but rather an adventurous mountain hiking area.Respect where respect is due.If you're driving the wrong way on the highway, it's not the highway's fault!
