Even though Spitzli and Hoch Petersalp do not look as impressive as the Alpstein massif in the background, the ascent is quite challenging. The Spitzli is 2.5 kilometres and a 530-metre climb away from Steinflue. A steep climb indeed. The reward is a fantastic 360-degree view from the cross at the top, and an entry into the summit book. To the south, the Säntiskette mountain range looms large along the way.
