Even though the Salzstiegelhaus and Altes Almhaus are not far away, you should bring some fruit for your summit picnic.

For a brief rest at the TRERENBACH CROSS, a brief thought from Pope Francis might be helpful. During the traditional Stations of the Cross prayer with the Holy Father on Good Friday 2024 in the Colosseum in Rome, he posed the question: "Where are we on Golgotha? Beneath the cross? With some distance? Far away? Or perhaps, like the apostles, we are no longer there." He then continues with the meditation: "You breathe, and this breath, the last and the first, only asks to be accepted. Lord Jesus, lead us to your gift. Do not allow your breath of life to evaporate."

A key feature of the "Cristo Rei" depictions - which this statue will inevitably remind every viewer of - is that Jesus is not shown on the cross or as the crucified one (although the outstretched arms suggest this from a distance), but Christ is the king, the victor over sin and death, who has overcome all the suffering in the world. It is the outstretched arms of the lovingly drawing Christ with which he embraces the land and the people living in it in blessing.

Quite steep, but with surefootedness certainly doable for any fit mountaineer.

ATTENTION: The parking lot and the road to the Almhaus are partly icy. There is no sign indicating where to get the parking tickets, or there is a sign at the end of the parking lot and you have to go back to the lift ticket office? No fun when there is ice in the parking lot
