On the descent over the Steinberg from Klein Titlis to Trübsee there are various possibilities. All variants lead in upper part over the glacier. There is a danger of crevasses. The classic "S" is the simplest and most rewarding option around the larger crevasse zone. Further variants are: "GaF" (All on the rock), left of the cable car and "Never Sun".
Comments
- There is a risk of crevasses and falling!
- Be especially careful in foggy or poor visibility conditions as it is very easy to get disoriented and/or lost
- Complex pathfining in the zone "Bärentatzen"
- Descent from 3020m.ü.M - 1764m.ü.M
- It is highly recommended to hire a mountain guide
