At the start of the short mountain route, a set of welldefined steps bring you to the summit of the Fellhorn. The breathtaking vista, taking in the Stillachtal and Kleinwalsertal valleys and extending all the way to the Hochifen and Gottesacker Plateau, makes this a truly panoramic summit experience. The subsequent descent takes you several metres along the western side of the narrow ridge, where steel cables are provided for your safety. The terrain here is rather exposed. After this section, the paths along the gently undulating, broad ridge soon widen.
The entire ridge section between the Fellhorn and Söllereck is a botanical jewel in the crown of the Allgäu Alps. Here, alpine roses, moonwort, mountain cornflower, “Wilde Männle” (literally “little wild men” – mountain anemones) with their distinctive seed heads, as well as a host of other mountain flora, some of which are rare and protected species, will delight the hearts of flower enthusiasts.
