Restaurant Sustenpass

Highlight • Restaurant

The Sustenpass restaurant is open from June to October and is a popular meeting place for many day trippers, whether motorized or traveling with pure muscle power.
With its wonderful panorama and the view out of the valley, the terrace invites you to pause and enjoy a few moments with food and drink.

View of the Tschingelfirn Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Tschingelfirn is on the northwest side of the Stücklistock (3,313m) below an almost 500m high, almost vertical field wall.
The two glacier gates at the lower end of the firn are clearly visible. The small glacier once calved over the rock step. Today, the amount of ice that flows in is no longer sufficient.
