Traveler reviews
JY T
★★★★★a year agoI hiked all the way to the bottom of this huge rock where you will need to climb and scramble a little with steel bars attached to the rocks, in order to arrive at Matthorn. This was rather tough for me. I waited for other hikers to see what they'd do, they gave up too. Some parts of this hike was rather steep. I would say, make sure you have better shoes and are sure-footed
Peter Watts
★★★★★2 years agoModerate difficulty hiking trail from Alpnachstad. Technically easy, however, a large elevation can prove difficult if you haven’t got good stamina. Views are brilliant on a clear day. Everyone is very friendly on the path and you get some better views than you do on the busy summit. Toilets at the base on Alpnachstad.
