This popular ridge walk allows some magnificent views over the Kleinwalsertal and Allgäu Alps. The track, which runs directly along the German–Austrian border, offers virtually no shade so it is wise to bring a hat and plenty to drink.

From the upper station of the Kanzelwand cable railway (1968m), walk a short distance in the direction of the Warmatsgundkopf then turn northeast and descend to the Gund Saddle (1800m). It is a steep climb from here up to the Fellhorn (2038m), but before reaching the summit the track passes the upper station of the Fellhornbahn and those in need of a drink and a rest can stop here.
