I went to the mountain via the usual route, that's from Arthurhaus hut. At first the path is more of a walk, higher up a bit more demanding. I'd describe it as partially difficult. The path is scenic and very varied, from pastures, scree fields, grassy slopes and higher rocky terrain. The path is well-visited and marked. Higher up poles mark the path (besides the markers), that's very useful in fog. I started a bit after twelve and arrived at Matrashaus hut on the summit as the last one just before six. Since dinner orders end at five, dinner was more modest (soup). The summit is known for beautiful views and sunset and sunrise experiences. It didn't disappoint me. The path is quite long but a special experience (both directions).
