  • Difficulty
    T2
  • Ascent
    2 h, 350 m
  • Descent
    270 m

This, the easiest and most convenient approach to the Spitzmeilen hut is particularly suited to family adventures or as a prelude to longer mountain tours in the region. Many brooks and ponds invite you to play and Alp Fursch, which is on route, offers refreshments. The somewhat longer hike around Alp Fursch provides a nice alternaitve for either ascent or descent.
