Schedule
From Unter Balm on the Klausen Pass we climb to Balme Grätli, where we make a short but interesting ridge hike to Ruosalper Chulm. From there we descend to Lochplanggen, where we cross under the walls that stretch from Höch Windgällen to Älpler Stock. We descend to the Waldisee (fancy a cool dip? -> take your swimming trunks), from where we ascend via Spitzbäch to the Glattalphütte.
The next day we walk past the lake Glattalpsee to the Furggele, where we decide whether to climb the Ortstock (extra 1.5 hours) and then hike via the Bärentritt to Braunwald.
