5-hut panoramic route: Stage 5 Voralphütte SAC to Salbithütte SAC

The 5th stage of the 5-hut panoramic route starts at the Voralphütte and leads to the Salbithütte. Behind the Voralphütte, follow a steep path towards Chüeplanggenstock up to the Flüestafel. Here the white-blue-white marked route turns southeast, ascends over the steep couloir of the Chüeplanggenchelen to below the ridge spur of the Rothorn. In rocky terrain, it goes down to the Horefelliboden. Then follows a steep rock step – it is overcome descending many rungs of a 50-meter-high metal ladder. Hikers cross the via ferrata secured with steel cables. After a mountainous terrain basin, there is another ladder. The path winds steeply up to the ridge hump below the Salbitschijen west ridge. Through the following scree slope, the route passes the bivouac box up to a short metal ladder. Over its rungs, you climb down to the Salbit bridge, which crosses the Stotzig-Chälä in a Nepalese style.
