Hike + Via Ferrata – Sunday, May 12

This Sunday I’m planning a full-day mountain outing in the Arnisee area. It’ll be a mix of hiking and (optional) via ferrata. Everyone’s welcome to join! We start with VF and then go to the hike. The route might change a bit depending on the conditions and if we want to bag more peaks.

There shouldn't be any snow on the top but there's possibility that there's some left.

Also there's a possibility that VF won't be open (I tried to contact the tourist info but got no response), in that case we just hike.

Here's the link to VF info page: https://www.bergsteigen.com/touren/klettersteig/adlerhorst-arnisee-klettersteig/
