Descent in the Chimney

Highlight • Climb

A head for heights and sure-footedness are prerequisites for mastering this steep path. The view is fantastic, the Trinity rocks and the Bogartenmännli are fascinating.

Bogarten Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The view up there is just fantastic and it is a junction between the left and right half of the Alpstein. In addition, the Bogartenmanndli simply exerts a fascination on me 😍.

Fählensee

Highlight • Lake

In its small valley incision, surrounded by high mountain ridges, the Fählensee lies quiet and black on cloudy days. On sunny days, the beauties of the Alpstein are reflected in it and make the hike here a worthwhile experience.
