Pilatus ascent the fourth, this time on completely unknown paths. As the title suggests, the descent did not go as planned.

Parked at the valley station of the Alpgschwändbahn, took the cable car of the same name up to the mountain station where there is also a very nicely prepared restaurant, really wow.
The path led up the north side …
