The big Altein Waterfall is visible while hiking from Isel direction Lake Alteinsee.

The big Altein Waterfall flows over the rocks from Mt. Schiesshorn down to the Isel area. When hiking from Isel to Lake Alteinsee - from where the hiking trails lead further around Mt. Schiesshorn or in direction Davos - you will be able to catch a glimpse onto the impressive falling water. A narrow path brings you to a small viewpoint with benches, from where the view and the refreshing spray can be enjoyed the most.
