In the narrow transition you have to cross a sloping snow field. Depending on the snow conditions, crampons may be helpful.

Absolute head for heights and surefootedness required. Chains make it easier to scramble in the most delicate places.

The path is clearly visible and also marked with stone mandli.

Thanks to Stephan's spontaneous invitation, I was able to experience an alpine tour for the first time, cross a glacier with crampons for the first time and also climb with crampons.
