Schilthorn Map

This tour shares the common attack of Nideralp and Chluismatte with the route to Boshorn. However, once you've reached the Sirwoltusee plain, this track leaves the beaten path to face a very inclined ascent towards the final ridge that leads to the top. From here you can admire the majestic north face of the Fletschorn and the Simplon mountain groups such as Monte Leone, Breithorn and Punta Terrarossa.
