More information

From Ardning, the trail first heads uphill as we cross the Bosruck Tunnel. At the foot of the mountain, we hike to Pürgschachen, where we descend a fairly steep slope. The return trip to Ardning is on flat terrain. This hike can also be combined with a visit to the Pürgschachen Moor.

Sturdy hiking boots or good trekking shoes,
hiking backpack,
water bottle,
first-aid kit (including blister bandages),
hiking map and smartphone,
snacks,
sunglasses,
sunscreen.

You should also be well-prepared for changeable weather.

Packing your backpack correctly makes things much easier: Pack heavy items first. Your water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. Items you’ll need frequently—such as sunglasses, your smartphone, or your hiking map—should go on top.
