Description

Schesaplana is the highest summit in the Rätikon on the Austrian–Swiss border; Wikidata records an elevation of 2,965 m. The popular ascent from Lünersee passes Totalphütte. Böser Tritt lies between the lower Lünerseebahn station and the lake: taking the cable car bypasses it, and it is not above Totalphütte. On the Swiss side, the Schweizerweg starts at Schesaplanahütte and is graded SAC T4. The approach via Mannheimer Hütte is a separate option crossing the Brandner Glacier. A July 2025 DAV Isny account reported slippery fresh snow higher up, illustrating that summer does not guarantee snow-free trails.

Climbing Experiences

Three written trip reports complement three video references: DAV Isny documents fresh July snow, DAV Pfullendorf records a glacier crossing from Mannheimer Hütte, and eGipfelbuch records a circuit via Schweizer Steig. Conditions and timings describe individual outings rather than guaranteeing present conditions. Böser Tritt is on the approach below Lünersee.
