The most beautiful mountain crossings in the Allgaeu

Crossing mountains is the most demanding discipline in mountaineering as it combines the most spectacular views, maximum experience and all kinds of ascents/descents. Moreover, there are many narrow and exposed paths. Surefootedness and a good condition are required, but the experience is worth the effort!
