For this further weekend tour with my mountain friends I decided to go back to the very nice Göscheneralp region and repeat the crossing of the Lochberglücke, a trail that I particularly like. Day 1: as already described in my previous report (First time Lochberlücke) we started our ascent to the Alpergensee at p.1927...

Following this path we entered the wonderful Fellital, passed the Treschhütte (1h...

To be prepared for any eventuality we took our snowshoes...
