Here, trail 3 and 5 are combined, the shortest ascent to the Niesen. The sneeze is ideal as a training tour, it is a total of 1600 meters to overcome. At the top you will find the modern furnished mountain house Niesen Kulm. The soup with the blue dried flowers is recommended, I have already enjoyed it often.
