Transition from the Walgau to the large Walsertal valley. Waypoint between Hoher Fraßen (Rapenschrofenweg) to the west, Breithorn and Els Alpe to the east.

And then it lies down there like a forgotten eye of the landscape: Lake Süns. Dark and round, framed by undulating meadows where summer dwells. No noise, no boats, no paths that claim to lead to the shore. The lake simply looks back – as if you yourself were the stranger in a story that has been told here for much longer. Whoever reaches the pass stands on a line between worlds. Behind you is the lake, in front of you the path to the peak – and to the side, the view stretches far down, where the Rhine Valley disappears. On a clear day, some say you can see Lake Constance. I think you see yourself above all – smaller, but also lighter than you thought. It's not the grand gestures that characterize this hike. It's the way the light clings to the slopes, the way the wind accompanies the path, the way the trail doesn't lead you but invites you. And anyone standing up there—between the Ragazer Grat, the Sünser Joch, and the dark blue of the small lake—may notice: The most beautiful places don't scream. They whisper.

A striking crossing point with a great view. From here you can walk the ridge to the Walmendingerhorn, descend to the Schwarzwasserhütte, climb to the Grünhorn or descend to Baad via the Starzel-Alpe on the Starzelweg.

You definitely won't be lacking in places to take a break on your hike. Since summer 2022 there has been a new alpine hut directly on the Tiefenseesattel https://clusterrush.io

The alp was reopened in 2022 and now invites you to take a relaxing break.

Here you can descend to the Süsner See and then climb back up to the Sünser Spitze.

If you have a head for heights, you should definitely go to the small vantage point from the saddle. The view gets better with every step.

If you want to see the sunrise, you have to start relatively early, between 2:00 a.m. and 3:30 a.m., depending on the starting point.
