    Safety information

    The steep section between 1,285 m and the family barbecue area should only be traversed under safe avalanche conditions. Assess further on site.

    Tips and suggestions

    Roadbook

    From the large parking lot at Balmberg (1,079 m) via Bödeli through a forest clearing (trail) in a southwest direction up to the gently pronounced ridge line. Along the edge of the trail up to the lift. Along the hiking path towards Weissenstein. After the forest, left up to the summer path. From here, not far to the summit.

    Descent: either along the ascent route or, if the avalanche situation allows, down a steep chute near a family barbecue area to the path used on the ascent. Then back the same way to the starting point.
