Very nice easy hike over the Fellhorn ridge path. But also sometimes overcrowded when the weather is nice.

Very nice hike, also suitable for the first mountain tour of your life. Nordic walking sticks and sturdy shoes are highly recommended

The best starting point for the circular hike. Can you save the 3€ surcharge and the crowds in the summit lift.
