- Description
-
The first part of the climb is challenging. The asphalted road climbs steeply after the Schiltgrat chairlift. As soon as the ascent becomes flatter, ground changes. The gravel road leads past Schiltalp, where, during the alpine season (summer), you can buy delicious local cheeses. On the Höhenweg, it is worth stopping for a photo and taking in the views of the Bernese Alps which are simply magnificent. After the Höhenweg, there is the short and partly challenging single trail to Suppenalp. From there, the wide alpine road leads back to the village.
