The hike starts with a steep and strenuous climb, but once you reach Lake Soomsee the effort is rewarded with magnificent mountain views and a stunning high alpine landscape. Continue to pretty Lake Itlsee where you should take a break before tackling the last climb to the saddle. The views of the surrounding mountains are amazing from up here! Return the same way.
