The Milchbach restaurant is old and basic, but friendly and gives you the opportunity to rest for a bite to eat and a drink before you hike on. We hiked on the the higher glacier where one had to be very well kitted out for this breath taking climb. This is nothing for kids or people that are not experienced in climbing vertical ladders or walking on narrow ledges and across smooth rock - here you need to be hooked on. Unfortunately this climb is no longer accessible due to a land slide some years back.

It looks shut long-term so don't rely on it for a stop while walking from the Hotel Wetterhorn to or from Pfiingstegg. And I have to say it looked run down like something from the 'Hansel & Gretel' story! Based on the other review and what I saw it is best avoided even if it does reopen at some point - unless it gets new owners and a seriously expensive refit. Spooky.
