The Jöchliturm is technically easy to reach from the Jöchlisattel (T2 / 3) in just under 10 minutes. It is a quiet and beautiful viewing point.

Altmann Saddle (2368 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

From here, it takes about another 15 to 20 minutes to get up to the Altmann. From there, you have an incredible view. But be careful, there's no marked path up, and surefootedness and some experience are required.

August 11, 2024,Wildhaus - Altmann
Start shortly before 12 noon in Wildhaus. So it's no wonder that the almost south-facing climb to the Jöchlisattel was extremely sweaty under the blazing sun. But I've never done the blue and white alpine hiking trail before and I had to make up for that. I also had to hike the Nädliger again. And that can be easily combined …

Today we did what we had actually planned yesterday – and it was fantastic 😀
Starting with blue skies, the fog thickened around us with every meter we climbed. Until we were completely enveloped. The barren rocky landscape seemed particularly mystical.
Only after an 1100 m ascent do you see the Altmann for the first time on this route (even …

I hiked with a colleague from Spain to see the ibexes in the Altmann region. The weather was so mixed, with a lot of fog, then it cleared up again, but it was perfect for hiking.

Yes, this route with my son was tough. The model was the route by Martina (komoot.de/tour/861897831?ref=wtd) with some relief. You soon noticed the alpine ascent. Wonderful views then up in all directions. At the Zwinglipasshütte you can stay in peace and, if necessary, eat something. In summary - very steep climbs - no one came after us - training and …

The reason for this tour was that Martina @Martina was there on Tuesday and, contrary to …

Altmann via the Schaffhauser Kamin T5III (not marked), Altman Normalweg T4 with sparse markings, but actually logical route, Nädligergrat T4 and down to Schafboden is officially marked blue/white. The Moor T5II is not marked and then requires a good dose of vertigo and a love of scrambling or, better said, almost climbing

Sometimes there are days when you just get in your own way a little more than usual 😅🙈.

Today was somehow one of those days.

And yet I had been looking forward to this tour for a long time: Altmann via the Schaffhauser Kamin 😍. A tour I had already done twice before and had been thrilled with both times. …

Altmann over the Schaffhauser Kamin T5III, Altmann Normalweg T4, Nädliger T4, ascent over the east wall gully to the Schofberg T5II

You should definitely enjoy climbing on this tour and for me it was a big dream come true. Thank you very much, dear Paul, for waiting until I got back from vacation to do this tour and also for …
