The view deep down to Walensee, the perfect summit slope and the Café at Hüttenberg are the highlights of this tour. With high fog it is a ski tour on the shores of a sea of fog, in sunshine Walensee appears to be a Norwegian fjord. Depending on the conditions, the summit can be reached on skis or on foot; in either case just follow the easy to ascend north-east ridge to the top.
