Summary:
Exciting route with a feeling of happiness. The obstacles were a bit challenging but absolutely doable. We lost track about halfway through the trail but after professional online help we quickly found the right path again. All in all, a sensational trail.

Summary:
This was our 5th Fox trail. This one was the most difficult and we unfortunately had to call the hotline twice. Item 13 unfortunately did not work, at 17 the door was closed (Wed at 12h30) and item 20 we also had to read the notice in the fine print, although the shutters were open.
It is important to read the notes VERY well...Despite everything it was huge fun. Thanks for your work!

Summary:
The tripadvisor link is incorrectly referenced. I don't see why it should be called "slate..."
Interesting Schiefer route, not easy but feasible. Sometimes poorly translated into French, especially when it comes to looking for barriers in front of the Federal Palace.
In our opinion, a mini gift is missing at the end for children / teenagers such as chocolate.
We will gladly make another one in another city. Why don’t we propose more in French-speaking Switzerland?
