Adlerspitz über dem Nebelmeer

Der Grosse Mythen ist wohl vielen bekannt. Doch die einsame Kombination über das Adlerspitzli und das Wysswändli zeigt ihn von einer ganz neuen Seite. Im 3. Schwierigkeitsgrad folgen wir der markanten Rippe auf den Adlerspitz. Toller Fels und abwechslungsreiche Kletterstellen finden wir hier! Nach einer gemütlichen Rast auf dem Adlerspitz, seilen wir in die Scharte ab und queren anschliessend über abgelegene Pfade zum Fuss des Wysswändli. Hier wartet nochmals eine lange, genussvolle Kraxelei, die uns schliesslich auf den Gipfel des Grossen Mythen führt. Unterwegs stossen wir auf ein selten besuchtes Wandbuch, das schon mehr als 30 Jahren überdauert und ein Stück alpine Geschichte in sich trägt! Dabei geniessen wir stets die grossartige Aussicht auf den Vierwaldstättersee und das Alpenpanorama bis zu den Berner Gipfeln. Auf dem Gipfel stärken wir uns anschliessend in der gemütlichen Gipfelbeiz. Den Abstieg treten wir entspannt über den Wanderweg an und dank der Brunnibahn verkürzen wir uns den Zu- und Rückweg angenehm. Eine Tour für alle, die Einsamkeit, Kletterfreude und Bergkultur verbinden möchten.
