We took the Noseholes route on the way back because we thought it was less steep. However, the descent via Tierwies is easier as it is better secured. It is better to choose the Noseholes route uphill!

June 18, 2025,18.06.25 Alpsteintour ❤️ über die Nasenlöcher Route auf's Öhrli 😄😍😍😍 (Erstböhl - Schwizer Älpli - Öhrli - Schäfler - Filder - Erstböhl)
