Mountaineers on the Chöpfenberg

The south ridge of the Chöpfenberg is a pearl of the Brüggler chain. Whilst many people try to climb the Brüggler wall, we are often alone on this traverse and enjoy the warming sun behind us and the magnificent limestone rock. The tour leads in the 3rd and 4th degree over the grippy and firm ridge to the summit. The ascent and descent is easy from the Büelen car park. One of the better pre-alpine tours!
