Description
On the hike from Palfries to the Alvier in the Appenzell Alps, more and more of the fantastic view opens up, but you should still stay focused – the path is steep, but exposed places are well insured.
From the Palfries mountain station at 1721 m above sea level.M. the path leads along the road to the Palfries mountain house. Over alpine pastures you hike first leisurely, then steeper and steeper. From about 1800 m above sea level.M. the trail becomes quite alpine. In a chimney gutter you climb between the rocks with the help of a wooden ladder to the ridge exit at Chemmi at 2185 m above sea level.M.
On the rugged south ridge, which is repeatedly secured with ropes and chains in difficult places, we continue to the summit plateau of the Alvier and the summit hut. This is where the famous panoramic view opens up: Walensee, Lake Constance and the Rhine Valley, the Glarus Alps, the Vorarlberg peaks and, in good visibility, the Tyrolean and Engadine mountains spread out a fabulous panorama all around.
