Description

Lots of sunshine and a wonderful view make the effort of this half-day route worthwhile.

Hidden Gem

The view from Leisalp across to the opposite mountains and far into the neighbouring valleys, partly as far as Pizzas d'Anarosa, is overwhelming.

A detour to the Hängelahütte mountain restaurant is worthwhile: magnificent view, very good food with local products. Info: www.haengela.ch

Safety Note

Surefootedness and a head for heights required.

On this route you must expect to encounter cows with calves.
