Nebelhorn Ridge Hike

Highlight • Trail

Great ridge trail to the summit! Best up here and down the wide path. The view of the valley widens around every corner, just great!
Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required, but everything is possible. Also good for experienced dogs!

Thanks to this impressive steel construction, which is attached to the north face of the Nebelhorn, the entire summit area can be circumnavigated.
