Description
This route gives you 1100m of ascent and approaches the summit from the east side.
Quite forest trails turn into a huge open mountain bowl, before emerging on the ridge above Vilsalpsee lake.
From there the path becomes rocky and steep and finishes with a final short ridge walk to the top.
The view is to die for!
Difficulty
Moderate
Hiking along trails with some uneven terrain and small hills. Small rocks and roots may be present.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
