Description

Along the path to the Kin hut, walkers are treated to the sight of some beautiful edelweiss growing at eye level.

However, the path demands a good level of concentration.

The Kin hut was once popular as the starting point for a variety of high-altitude mountain tours, but because of changes in the landscape over recent decades, the hut is now much quieter - and a popular haunt for nature lovers seeking tranquillity. * Starting point for ascents of purse horn, trench horn, kinhorn, cathedral # Glorious view of the Matter valley * Täschalp: cheese and Ziger soft cheese for sale equipment We recommend: * Good footwear * Hiking poles (optional) # Clothing suitable for the weather (always carry a waterproof) *A good head for heights, a sure foot and mountain experience are needed
