Itinerary

After about 2h of ascending (6km and 830 D+) from the bus stop, we will take a break at Elsigsee for a swim and lunch. If the weather is suitable, the plan is to stay there around 30-45 minutes.

Following the swim, we will climb to Golitschepass, Stand and finally First (2548m) where we will have a small snack. This 2nd portion of the climb will last around 1h45 hours (4.5km and 710m D+).

Finally, we will descend a little over 8km and 1500m D- to Kandersteg in around 2 hours to catch the 17h14 train. I will personally make sure I do not miss this connection.

Warning !

The distance, climb and descent are significant and we will be going up at a medium pace (~420 m/hour). Please make sure you understand the meaning of these numbers before joining. 

Finally, please note I may modify the itinerary for safety reasons at any point during the hike and at my own discretion. Safety is my #1 priority.

Be aware I may take the decision to divert from the suggested circuit if necessary, especially in winter.
