Comparison with Komoot / SwitzerlandMobility:
SwitzerlandMobility ran along on a second iPhone!

Descents 430 / 721m

After I imported the original route from SwitzerlandMobility, the following values appeared on Komoot, how does that work?

A beautiful home round. In winter, as well as in summer, the absolute hammer; easy and promising. The great floral splendor here is sensational!
As half Obwaldener, I often go to the Frutt, because half my relatives are up there - as an alpine farmer, ski instructor or hiker.
