Wooden Bridge at Obersee

View from the ridge between Rautispitz and Wiggis

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Great views on a not that easy way. You should already have Alpine experience here. It is easier via the Obersee to the Rautispitz for (almost) the same view.

Rock Faces on the Ascent to Rautispitz

Highlight (Segment) • Canyon

It feels like being in a huge canyon. It is especially nice when - like us - you are lucky and not many hikers are on the way. Then you can enjoy an incredibly beautiful silence.

Komoot crashed 3 times and didn't want to navigate anymore, even though the map was downloaded for offline mode. I have the feeling that the app is continuously getting worse... ☹️
