Stanser Joch

January 7, 2023

I'd never done the hike straight up from the town of Stans. It was fantastic! I thought it would be 1500 meters up through latschen but it was pleasant, if very steep, forest and occasional meadow. Only in the last 300 meters were there periods of time spent in the latschen, and of course the final 150 meters were wide open. I enjoyed a chat with a woman who lived in Schwaz, hiking up here from home, preferring not to drive anywhere.
