Difficulty
Physical effort, technical demands, trail conditions, ascent and duration — this says nothing about exposure.
Fear of heights
Exposure only: drop-offs, narrow paths on steep slopes, traverses, bridges and ladders. Assessed independently of the difficulty grade.
Why this rating?
The official route is marked intermediate and family-friendly and does not mention exposed trail passages. It runs high above the Mattertal, so open views may still cause some discomfort. The semi-open cable car used to reach Schalb is separate from the hiking trail.
