Highlight • Structure

Stay left in the valley; the path across the moraine no longer exists. Follow the poles across the scree field.

On the Schafgrinde (2411 m)

Highlight • Summit

End of the official hiking trail (white/red), good views of the Kanderfirn.
However, those who want to reach the glacier must turn further down towards the Mutthorn Hut (white/blue). There is no access to the glacier from here.

Gauli Glacier

Highlight • Natural Monument

The old path to the right has been blocked by rockfall in 2 places, do not attempt to use it, use the new path by the river instead
