A short hike, not too high - that's when I remembered the tour that Sash86 did at the beginning of April:
komoot.de/tour/345215260

But in contrast to his tour, I didn't have a snowflake on the ridge and that on January 1st! This tour is definitely something for people who are looking for solitude - I haven't met a single soul …
