Great vantage point at 1525 m east of the Hochalp mountain inn, worth a detour.

Hochalp Summit (1,530 m)

Highlight • Summit

Hochalp summit (1530 m) offers superb panoramic views. The summit lies slightly south of the path between the Hochalp restaurant (1521 m, to the west) and the secondary summit Hochalp Ost (1525 m).

Hochalp Summit

Highlight • Summit

The view is really phenomenal. The hardships of the climb are worthwhile. The Hochalp is hosted!

Very friendly hosts on the Hochalp again since summer 2021. Open daily during the summer holidays, otherwise closed on Mondays. Open on nice weekends in winter. Recommended barley soup and cold dishes. Great view of the Säntis and the Alpstein.
