Mattalp - Mattalpplatte - Galtigengrat

The foot of the Mattalpplatte (largest wall section, Sector A) can be reached in a few steps from the mountain trail Ämsigen - Pilatus Kulm. From there, climb diagonally to the right above sector B past the end of the obvious ledge. Continue straight up in sparsely wooded terrain to join the ridge. Time from the foot of the Mattalpplatte to the ridge: roughly 15 min. Alternatively you can climb one of the routes R6 - R8 and continue on R13 Waldmandli to reach the start of the Galtigengrat.
