Did the hike I had done in
2003 in one day this time with two colleagues in two days with an overnight stay in the Gspaltenhorn
Hut. Due to the high alpine character of the hike and the snowline which was
at 2,500m the tour almost felt like a mountaineering tour: Mürren -
Sefinenfurgge - Gspaltenhorn Hut - Hohtürli - Kandersteg |
