Our guide Mario was so lovely, we got unbelievably lucky with the weather and spent plenty of time on the top of the mountain to see and explore everything. Mario gave us some different options on things we do at the top such as a hike from the glacier which was well worth it. I would 100% recommended this trip to anyone with some free time in Munich.

We had an amazing time hiking and talking to Simon. He has a lot to show and share. We hiked around the forest and the ski slopes, and reached a nice lake to admire the views. It is also suitable for beginners like us! Definitely a must do!
