Trail Reviews
As loyal followers have already realized, we walked up this mountain for the first time on August 20th, 2023. This time just at a different time of year. It is very amazing to be able to see this difference with your own eyes. We were very happy to have put our crampons on right from the start. The path was very high covered in snow and also very slippery. Small children particularly took advantage of this on the way down and slipped down on their bottoms, which also worked well without a sled.
Short hike with a steep climb and great views!
To close the day, this short hike to spend some time to enjoy the beautiful view.
