    Tolle Aussicht! Am Anfang (nach der Abbiegung vom See) sehr steiler Aufstieg der auf die Pumpe geht. Die Anstrengung wird aber immer wieder aufs neue belohnt. Vielen Dank an den Autor.

    Sehr schöne Herbstwanderung. Der Abstieg nach Zollhaus geht etwas in die Knie. Spektakulär ist der grosse Teil auf dem Bergrücken. Nochmals angehen würde ich im Zollhaus starten. Zwar ein anspruchsvoller Anstieg aber oben wird man belohnt. Achtung Postautorückreise kalkulieren.

    Eine schöne, abwechslungsreiche und kurzweilige Wanderung. Unterwegs hat im Wald eine schöne Brätlistelle. Auch hat es immer Bänkli zum Verweilen und um die Aussicht zu geniessen.

    Nach der Auffahrt mit dem Sessellift und einem kleinen anschließenden Anstieg erwartet einen die volle Pracht des Hochtals. Die Landschaft bezaubert nun den gesamten Weg. Dieser ist sehr abwechslungsreich, hat wenig Passagen mit grobem Schotter, nutzt vielmehr viele kleine Singletrails, mal mit Fernblick, mal waldig. Der sehr hohe Pfadanteil überrascht und macht einfach nur Spaß. Eine rundum wundervolle Wanderung, die durch den stetigen Abstieg und der Länge von 10km in 2,5h einfach zu gehen ist. Am See lässt es sich dann abschließend noch vorzüglich speisen.

    Landschaftlich wunderschön. Auf und Abstieg leider fast am Stück. Für Almunerfahrene ungewohnt viele Kühe direkt auf den Wegen. Viele tolle Hütten zum Einkehren auf dem Weg

    Die Sesselbahn kostet 12 CHF für Erwachsene und 10 CHF für Pensionierte. Oben angekommen führt ein Fuhrweg dem Hang entlang hoch, teils relativ steil. Teils muss Kühen ausgewichen werden, an einem Ort liegt ein Geröllhaufen auf dem Weg. Ab Salzmatt geht es auf einem schmalen, steinigen Weg teils mit hohen Treppenstufen auf den Pass hoch, ziemlich steil. Nach dem Pass geht es noch ca. 100m hoch bis zum gut sichtbaren Kreuz, perfekt als Picknickplatz. Bei schönem Wetter und wolkenlosem Himmel hat man gute Sicht auf Berge sowie in alle Richtungen. Ein Stern Abzug für den relativ langweiligen Weg hoch, Panoramamässig aber definitiv zu empfehlen. Bitte nehmt euren Abfall mit nach Hause, danke!

    Tour ist sehr schön. Die Dauer ist jedoch 6:30 und ich würde sie technisch als mittel und konditionell als mittel bis schwer bezeichnen. Sicher nicht leicht.
