A great hike with beautiful, untouched nature and fantastic views. But don't underestimate it, and be sure to wear proper footwear!

If you’re doing the full route definitely reconsider this section as it is a really steep incline. After doing the other two peaks, exhaustion may catch up while doing this at the end of the hike. Also not recommended during bad weather as chances of slipping greatly increase with loose rocks.

Beautiful but very crowded. The last hiking bus leaves at 5 p.m., and you'll have the lakes almost to yourself.

Beautiful mountain hut on the shore of the Giglachsee. Especially the location makes this mountain hut a real recommendation! The food at the hut itself as well as the sleeping places leave something to be desired.
