    Choosing the exact time: So that you don’t arrive too late at the summit, you should choose the exact time of sunrise or sunset.

    Observe the weather: Of course, the weather should be very nice and stable at sunrise or sunset. Safety first!

  • Directions

    The parking lot that offers itself as a starting point is located approx. 300 m from the Furkajoch in the direction of Damüls on the Furkastraße. From here, Alpe Portla is already visible on the opposite slope. It goes past this first up to the Portlafürkele. Here the path splits and you get to the idyllically situated Sünsersee. On a meadow path it goes steeply up until the path forks. Here you turn left, first crossing magnificent mountain meadow slopes on an almost level path before a last, unproblematic climb leads to the Sünserspitze.
