Itinerary description

A bit of an extreme hike for the average hiker but well worth it. The day started a bit foggy and with low clouds as you can see in the pictures but it cleared in the late morning or noon. I don't recommend this hike if you're not an avid hiker. It's a lot of elevation and the distance could make it tricky. Of course you could always take the cable car back ;)

Trail is amazingly well marked and I love how the Swiss have signs for all of them. I really liked this hike. The way I took to go up is very steep at the beginning but there are cables to assist in any case. Other than that, it'd be heavenly to see this panorama with a bit of snow! Great hike!
