The glide path is beautiful in the ascent and descent, but challenging! The southern slope is partly very steep and exposed. The most difficult places are secured; better leave it in the wet, snow and rain.

Very challenging climb between the Hintere Seealpe and the Oytal.

the "glide path" is not a way to "glide along" - a climb is only safe for experienced and pedaling :(

Surefootedness and alpine experience are required for the path. Sturdy shoes and walking sticks are advisable.

Alpine climb. It should only be attempted by hikers who are fit, sure-footed and have a head for heights. The more than 1,100 vertical meters that have to be overcome should not be underestimated and are absolutely not for "sneakers".

This is a very challenging path for those who are 'light hikers' or not good prepared! I was on a day with good weather and good footed, still challenging, but when I arrived at summit, the view was very rewarding. Caution! Avoid when rain or snow!
