Spannort Group Spot
This tour is certainly one of the most beautiful in Central Switzerland.
It has everything that defines a high alpine tour: glaciers, climbing, and breathtaking views!
After a cozy night in the Spannort hut, we ascend steeply to the Schlossberg gap. As the sun slowly rises, we step onto the glacier. Roped up and equipped with crampons, we hike across the eternal ice to the starting point where the climbing begins.
Scrambling over simple steep sections, we climb to the summit at a difficulty level of grade III.
The view over Engelberg is only better from a paraglider...
