Worth it?
For hikers who are steady on exposed paths, this ridge pays off with views over ten lakes and a string of peaks. It takes about 2 to 3 hours at a moderate pace and needs a head for heights. Crowds arrive with the cable car, so one creator hikes up to the summit at dawn instead, about 1.5 hours of climbing, to have it quieter. If you rely on the lift, check its opening hours before you set out.
Before you go
- Start at dawn and walk up (about 1.5 hours) to stay ahead of the cable car crowds.
- Check the cable car opening hours if you plan to ride up or down.
- Finish at the viewing platform on the Fronalpstock summit.
- Access includes what is billed as the steepest funicular, a ride in itself.
