Hiking

We took the Noseholes route on the way back because we thought it was less steep. However, the descent via Tierwies is easier as it is better secured. It is better to choose the Noseholes route uphill!

Hiking

The Nostrils Route is marked in white and blue and is recommended in dry conditions. The trail first leads up an increasingly steep grassy slope to the rock face, then over some cool, scrambling rock sections with a so-called crux where you almost have to do a bit of climbing. I imagined the whole thing to be more difficult, though. It's doable, but only in dry conditions; otherwise, the risk of slipping is quite high, and the terrain is steep and sloping. I'd recommend taking this route uphill the first time, as it's usually easier.

Hiking

We climbed Säntis via Tierwies in perfect conditions and then descended via the Nasenlöcher route. This route is partially rated as a via ferrata and is classified as T4 by the SAC. Recommended only in the best conditions and with some alpine experience. Rugged, steep, precipitous, exposed, and with climbing sections (some secured with steel cables), the descent is more difficult.
