Check the route for lunch or a snack nearby. Since there are no food or drink shops listed in the immediate vicinity of the anchor, plan a short walk to the nearest village facilities or bring provisions. This breaks up the visit and gives you energy for the next leg.

Walk to the Leiterhorn viewpoint. It is a short 39-minute hike from the anchor in a WNW direction.

Local tip
The area is best visited early in the day to avoid the peak tourist hours that usually start around noon. Bring layers, as mountain weather can change quickly even in summer.
