Skanda Vale Hospice Two Peaks Challenge Switzerland
The challenge
We set off at 8:30 am from Somaskanda Ashram on a steep two-hour ascent to Glattwang Peak. Walking along the ridge from Glattwang offers truly breathtaking 360° views. After a rest at Arflinafurgga Pass, we’ll ascend Mattlishorn before descending to the picturesque picnic spot by Unter-Clunersee Lake. Finally, relax and savour a delicious meal, reflecting on your amazing journey through the Swiss Alps.
