The ascent is beautiful, but also very steep. It can be mastered with a ladder and rope insurance. Attention danger of falling rocks!

Wildsulzhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the Wildsulzhütte, the path to the Säuling splits from the Älpele. Up around the left and around the Pilgerschrofen (right) down again is the easier option. However, please only with sure-footedness, a head for heights and physical condition!
