Ascent

Gabi - On the left bank of the Laggin you go to the second bridge, which you cross and get to the Gsteihuis. To the left of the building, climb the steep mule track to the Feerberg forest clearing. If you start further up between the gallery and the bridge at around 1260m (parking space available), the first ascent via Schilt is more pleasant, and you reach the mule track at around 1,340 m. You climb up the wide ridge through the forest clearing, past a small path chapel at 1,560 m. You can also climb the open terrain via Mittluhuis to Alphittä at 1,880 m and over to Furggu or follow the old mule track to the Furggupass.

 

descent

Gabi - The descent is via the ascent track. Depending on the assessment of the dangers, this can also vary.
