Beautiful autumn tour. Hike on a sunny slope. You need a head for heights when climbing the ladder. The summit section is very difficult as there is little sun. But the destination makes up for it with a great view.

April 29, 2025,Sargans nach Gonzen übers Leitere

It's been on my list for a long time... Mount Gonzen, towering majestically above Sargans. Unfortunately, there was still a lot of snow on the last few meters, some of it reaching knee-deep.

It is easy to do via the Leiterliweg to Gonzen, but be sure-footed, but only with the ladders, then a good hiking trail to the summit.
Battery empty too early. Were about 15.50km and 1,050 HM
