Chaiserstock Ridge Section with Fixed Cables and Chains

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Since I was on the Chaiserstock for the first time in 2022, they have significantly defused the two "key points" (at the couloir up to the Chaisertor there are now iron steps and the point at the top with the chain where you have to hoist yourself up with a lot of strength is now also additionally secured with iron steps and a rope 👍) . Of course, the path remains airy and scrambling, but is wonderfully secured with a rope. I've seen those who have secured themselves with a via ferrata set, of course it's also possible, but not necessary. A head for heights and sure-footedness is of course a must, the path remains a T4+ and is a wonderful Kraxlige path for experienced hikers with a great panorama from the summit 😍😄👌

If you skip the short climb towards Fulen, a nice and easy tour.

Unfortunately, a quasi-motorway was realized on the Chaiser, in that all even somewhat demanding sections were secured with steel cables and additional steps. I personally think absolutely nothing of it, not everyone has to go up there.

There was more snow than expected. I've never been to Chaiserstock and Fulen before, so it was too tricky for me today.

It was actually planned to go to the Chaiserstock, but then I changed my mind. Already had trouble after the 2nd km today. On the last part on the Rossstock I even had to pause several times.

The route itself is not bad and there are no "botched" hiking highways. Actually great paths!

Super awesome tour!! Absolute highlight 😊
Challenging because it goes steeply uphill, but the effort is rewarded by the fantastic views. On the way down, a herd of goats took a liking to us and accompanied us for quite a while. You also pass some marmot burrows. Conveniently, the animals whistle so loudly as soon as you approach that you …

Today was a wonderful day. A little slower due to my knees, but the scenery was all the more beautiful: wonderful views, warm colors and autumnal tranquility.

Landscape, trails and views simply top! Beautiful area with many peaks and trails where you can spontaneously extend, shorten or simply change your mind during the hike.
The small gondola with a maximum of 5 people per ride runs as needed. Plan for a little waiting time if it's busy.
