On the right, you'll enjoy a great view of the towering rock walls of Flimserstein. Then, you'll pass through the snowy Flimser Forest, where a short downhill section offers a chance to catch your breath. As you leave the trees behind, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains, motivating you for the upcoming challenging climb.
