Did a great balancing act yesterday. The view was always impressive and luckily the weather cooperated. The tour was actually planned the day before, but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. There are 2 ways to start this hike. Either you take the cog railway or cable car to get to Stooß. Then with the chairlift. Or you run upstairs. I …

Beautiful ridge hiking trail from Klingenstock to Fronalpstock. Always with great views on all sides. Vertically down to the left is Lake Lucerne, to the right the view falls into the Muotatal. But also very touristy 🤷🏻‍♀️.
We took the cable cars to the top. Of course you could also hike the whole thing 🙃. A day ticket includes all …

Very demanding hike. It's very steep, even the ridge walk. But the effort is definitely worth it - fantastic views of the entire mountain range and Lake Lucerne.
It can also be shortened significantly with the chair lift for those for whom it is too much
