Himmelsleiter (Säntis Summit Ascent)

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A challenge on the first ascent. Easily doable for ambitious hikers who are sure-footed, have a head for heights and are equipped with the right hiking footwear. Be careful of oncoming traffic. Not recommended for hikers who are prone to dizziness or are unsteady. It is best to secure children with via ferrata equipment. Dogs must be in a backpack.

Beautiful rocky trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path from Gasthaus Tierwies to Säntis is a very beautiful section and always leads over rocky ground. You can scramble a little bit :-) and I just like to be able to walk over rocky ground.
However, the path from Tierwies has significantly fewer exposed spots than the section from Schwägalp to the Tierwies inn. Due to the many hikers, the rocks are partly a bit worn and therefore a bit slippery, but no problem with a little caution. In addition, from Gasthaus Tierwies you are also beautiful in the sun. The lower part (Schwägalp - Tierwies), on the other hand, is very shady and from the perspective of the view, the upper part is much more beautiful and attractive to walk on.
