Description

The FKT starts at the Kandersteg trainstation direction Sunnbühel, Spittelmatte. Until there it was a easy 10k with +900m.

Then you leave the trail direction the face of Altels and the very step climb starts. After +1000m more the scrambling part starts. The final ridge is exposed and very steep (T5+ (II) the downhill is first tricky and then just like surfing. . 

From Spitttelmattesee to the top of Altels there is no path and exposed ridges!

You are free to find the fastest way from Kandersteg to Altels and back! No need to stay on the GPX track.
