If only it wasn't about the condition 🙈 but it didn't matter I was traveling alone and could take breaks without end.
I was lucky too because the crowds were limited.

Since relaxing was the order of the day yesterday, back on the slopes today 🥾🥾 to paradise 😍.
With the 🚠 up to the Fellhorn, briefly to the summit 🎚 then hit the ridge towards Schlappoldsee 🌊. This ridge runs exactly on the border 🇩🇪 and 🇦🇹 as well as Sunday on the Kanzelwand.
In contrast to Sunday, it was …

From there it goes down to the lake and to Alpe Schlappolt.
Then the toxic part begins, the ascent to the Schlapppolteck. The only good thing about the climb is that it doesn't last forever. But the view from the top is good.
The …

June 14, 2026,Gratwanderung am Fellhorn

Today I picked out this dream area, and even though my original starting point would have been completely different, I simply made the tour as pleasant as possible for myself. There was already a challenge that had always kept me away from Fellhorn: my fear of heights. Neither a cable car nor the ridge path at altitude are really my …
