A very exciting, varied and promising path. You should be a little free from giddiness. Sure-footed of course anyway (T2).

Saxer Lücke

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Please do not encourage others to camp there too. It is forbidden and nature suffers as a result. There is rubbish from campers everywhere and there are plenty of other places where you can camp, just not here! leave your tent at home or in the car. Thanks =)

This route was significantly steeper and more dangerous than expected. A head for heights is absolutely essential, as there are no safety devices at the top—a significant safety risk.

The tour is a dream, only the last 2-3 km are a bit tough for inexperienced hikers.

Went up with the gondola today, walked down at the end (1250 hm). Then the black woodpecker crossed our path.

Beautiful circular hike from/to Staubern with magical views 🤩 Surefootedness is required on the Staubern - Saxerlücke high-altitude trail. Ascent Rainhütten - Staubern needs some fitness 😅

Showing Translation

The wait for the cable car took almost two hours (just from 11am to 1pm) - I think the earlier you get there the better!

As an alternative to the rainy Lech after Peter's tip, a short-term change of plan:
With the gondola 🚠 from Frümsen up the ridge .. spectacular ridge hike through the Saxer Lücke. Unfortunately the weather was not much better here.

The first hike in Switzerland (arrived yesterday evening).
First up with the Staubernbahn, followed by a short tightrope walk. Then it went down to the mountain restaurant Bollenwees at the Saxer Lücke.
The way back after dinner was initially quite leisurely, but then you had to move back up to the starting point of the mountain station of the train.

Don't forget the power bank. Komoot always eats up so much battery for me that I couldn't even record the last part (from B to A)...and that was tough. All in all, a really nice hike. It requires fitness, but is also easily doable for occasional hikers like me.
