Cross the chasm between the rocks of the old and new Gemmi Hotels on a long and (very) wobbly three-rope bridge. Then catch a breather at the start of the actual Gemmiwand. From here it goes up and down across the wall, twice leading over vertical or horizontally suspended round logs under overhangs. Finally, follow the spur between the viewing platform and mountain station, ascend the 540 degree spiral ladder without being sick, and gain the wire net which follows (exit possible here). From the net descend dizzyingly into the depths, and continue the adventure, balancing along narrow beams and leaning out into the air. Around a final arete you may climb up to the finish line at about 2350 m.
