Wagenlücke

From the Säntis down to the Wagenlücke, you have two options at the Wagenlücke, either you go along a somewhat rocky path towards Meglisalp (there are no exposed areas and the path is well developed) or you go through the Wagenlücke towards Mesmer. This path is initially a little steep and is a little slippery on the scree-like surface... then there is a short secured section through a rocky section (not particularly demanding) and then you continue along a beautiful narrow path to the Mesmer inn. The memorial cross in the Wagenlücke stands for the Säntis carriers from the Wagenlücke who died in accidents.

The way from the wagon gap towards Mesmer I can highly recommend. After the slippery (and a bit steep) spot at the beginning, there is always a "turf spot" along the way where you can sit down, rest and admire the Säntis. Just watch where you step and sit down.

A striking pass between the valley sides of Mesmer and Meglisalp. The Säntis is very close from here. I really like it here; it's a dream destination for me. If you continue up, you'll reach the Säntis summit (a relatively easy path with no major exposed sections).
