| What I was more thinking about though is that Mythen is proper steep. I've just looked at it on the 1:50000 map (I had it open to plan another tour) and unless you have technical climbing skills and equipment I don't think I would do it until the snow is all gone from up there. Like I said, I've never been right up there so Maybe Longbyt might be able to give you a better idea of what the trail is like, but from the map I think doing it in winter is for people with technical mountain skills. If the snow is gone then hit it. If not I reckon wait. | |

Sorry, I didn't see this post earlier. I don't always read the Pass biking ones. The 'normal route' up the Great Mythen is a steepish hike, hands maybe a couple of times for balance, but it is definitely a walk not a climb - in summer and in the dry. The rocks used to be very slippery when wet (I went up a LONG time ago) and too many folk have gone over the edge for me to even dream of it in winter. Although we always carry a map, once you are on the path, there is really nowhere else you can go but up to the top.
I cannot remember if we started from Brunni or cheated and took the cablecar up to the Holzegg.
The Klein Mythen needs hands a bit more - again, this is in summer.
Have fun guys and take care.
