Wanderführer Walter

This summer, as well as well-established walking tours with our tour guide Walter, we are able to offer guided tours five days a week, with professional mountain and walking guides from Well-alpin, at no extra cost. Bus and train fares not included in the cost.

On Monday there is an easy walk over Fernpass. This takes us through pine woods to the Weissensee lake, and then by way of the Roman Road (Roemer Weg) to the Fernpass saddle. We cross over the Fernpass road, walk along beautiful paths down to the Fernstein Castle, and on through forest and meadow to Nassereith. We return by bus. Altogether about 4 hours.



alternatively

We go bus to Obermoos and then walk past the Hochthoerlehuette to the old Smugglers' Way and the Tirol/Bavaria frontier, down to the Eibsee lake and via the idyllic Badersee lake to Grainau. Return on the nostalgic Ausserfern railway. About 5 hours.

On Tuesday there is a mountain walk from Zugspitze. We go up on the Zugspitze cable railway, then take the chairlift from the summit to the plateau below on the other side of the mountain. This is where the high mountain walk begins. It takes us via the Knorrhuette to Gatterl on the German/Austrian frontier, and back to Lermoos via the Ehrwalder Alm. About 6 hours.

or

We can walk up to the Tuftl Alm and then on up to the Gruene Ups mountain. The route to the Alm, altitude 1500 metres, is by way of the Kaerlestal. It then continues to the cross on the summit at 1852 metres. After a rest at the top we walk via the Bichlbacher Alm down to Laehn where we catch the train back to Lermoos. About 6 hours.

 

On Wednesday there is the "Steinernes Huettl" mountain walk. This takes us from the Ehrwalder Alm, which we reach by cable car, via Feldern Alm to the Joechl mountain pass, and in half an hour to the most original mountain hut in the world. Once refreshed, we return over the same route. About 6 hours.

Alternatively

We can go to the Marienberg Schachtkopf. After taking the chairlift to the top of the Marienberg cable railway, we go via the Jubilaeumssteig path to the Schachtkopf. During a pause here we can enjoy a view of the whole valley basin and the old workings where silver used to be mined. Then home through pine woods to Ehrwald. About 4 hours.

 

 

On Thursday there is a visit to the Coburger Huette. This begins with the cable car to the Ehrwalder Alm, and then on foot via the Brendlkar and Tajatoerl (the highest point) to the hut which lies beside the Drachensee lake. The descent is via the Sebensee lake and then almost the same way back to the Ehrwalder Alm. About 5 hours. (Possible alternative return route via the Biberwier mountain gap.)

 

"Top of Germany" is on the programme for Friday. First the cable car to the Ehrwalder Alm, and then through the Feldern mountain pasture to the Feldernjoechl pass for our first break. We take our big rest at the Knorrhuette (2000 metres) which comes into sight as we reach Gatterl on the Austrian/German frontier. After crossing the plateau above the hut we reach the chairlift which takes us up to the summit of Zugspitze. Only the most experienced and fittest should attempt this section on foot. Return to the valley by cable car. About 7 hours.

Or

We do the Grubigstein/Fernpass mountain route. After the ascent by lift, the route goes high over the Blindsee lake and down the beautiful path to Fernpass. The return to Lermoos is through the pine woods bordering the Blindsee, Mittersee and Weissensee lakes.
