Jöchliturm

Highlight • Summit

The Jöchliturm is technically easy to reach from the Jöchlisattel (T2 / 3) in just under 10 minutes. It is a quiet and beautiful viewing point.

Nädligergrat Ridge Trail

Highlight • Trail

Yay... I finally dared to go over the Nädligergrat 😊.

I've often stood at the Flispunkt and looked at this ridge path... from there it looks pretty pointed and narrow 🙈.

Altmann Summit

Highlight • Summit

Amazing summit, just wow😍 at the end there is no marked path anymore and you should have some experience.

From here, it takes about another 15 to 20 minutes to get up to the Altmann. From there, you have an incredible view. But be careful, there's no marked path up, and surefootedness and some experience are required.

I hiked with a colleague from Spain to see the ibexes in the Altmann region. The weather was so mixed, with a lot of fog, then it cleared up again, but it was perfect for hiking.

Yes, this route with my son was tough. The model was the route by Martina (komoot.de/tour/861897831?ref=wtd) with some relief. You soon noticed the alpine ascent. Wonderful views then up in all directions. At the Zwinglipasshütte you can stay in peace and, if necessary, eat something. In summary - very steep climbs - no one came after us - training and …

Today we did what we had actually planned yesterday – and it was fantastic 😀
Starting with blue skies, the fog thickened around us with every meter we climbed. Until we were completely enveloped. The barren rocky landscape seemed particularly mystical.
Only after an 1100 m ascent do you see the Altmann for the first time on this route (even …

August 11, 2024,Wildhaus - Altmann

Start shortly before 12 noon in Wildhaus. So it's no wonder that the almost south-facing climb to the Jöchlisattel was extremely sweaty under the blazing sun. But I've never done the blue and white alpine hiking trail before and I had to make up for that. I also had to hike the Nädliger again. And that can be easily combined …

It was only on the evening before the tour that I decided at short notice to do this Alpstein tour. I knew about the foehn storm - the forecast for the Alpstein was between 30 and 40 km/h - but the reality felt different. The reason for this tour was that Martina @Martina was there on Tuesday and, contrary to …

September 3, 2024,03.09.24 Altmann über's Schaffhauser Kamin, Nädliger & Moor mit vielen tierischen Begegnungen 😍😍😍😍😍

Altmann via the Schaffhauser Kamin T5III (not marked), Altman Normalweg T4 with sparse markings, but actually logical route, Nädligergrat T4 and down to Schafboden is officially marked blue/white. The Moor T5II is not marked and then requires a good dose of vertigo and a love of scrambling or, better said, almost climbing
