Starting point and time: Luftseilbahn Tierfed at 8:30 then we take the cable car to Chalchtrittli, the same cable car will be taken also on the way down.

How to get there: Tierfed cannot be reached by public transportation, so carpooling must be used, the closest station is Linthal which is approx 6 km far.

What to take: hiking equipment and clothes warm enough for 3000m, proper shoes (hiking boots or trail running shoes), food, enough water, sunscreen, sunglasses, tick spray, rain jacket.

GPX track: please download it and then upload it on your mobile by using your preferred map app and make yourself familiar with the hike like if you have to do it on your own.

Pace: the plan is to have a pace of 500/600 m elevation gain per hour, please join only if you can keep this pace and you are comfortable doing a T4 hike. The last cable car down to Tierfed is at 18:00

Disclaimer: I'm not a guide - everyone hikes at their responsibility and risk. Before joining, be informed of the length and technical grade, study the hike like if you have to do it on your own and consider that this is not a hike for beginners.
