Hochalp Summit

Highlight • Summit

The view is really phenomenal. The hardships of the climb are worthwhile. The Hochalp is hosted!

Very friendly hosts on the Hochalp again since summer 2021. Open daily during the summer holidays, otherwise closed on Mondays. Open on nice weekends in winter. Recommended barley soup and cold dishes. Great view of the Säntis and the Alpstein.

Off to the star photography course. We climbed up at 5pm, the sky was almost overcast. Dinner in the restaurant. At around 10pm the sky opened up and we had a wonderful starry sky. At half past one we went back home🙄
