SUMMER TOURS
- Almen Circular Hike. Moderately difficult alpine circular route in the Wetterstein mountains. Short, steep ascent from the parking lot Stupfer to the forest road, then leisurely to the Wangalm. A bit below the Wangalm (at the former Wettersteinhütte) continue over the “Wurziger Steig” to the Hämmermoosalm and from there descend into the valley.
To the hike
- Biking Tour Wangalm. Short and exhausting biking tour from the parking lot Stupfer in Gaistal over wide gravel paths to just below the Wangalm. The last hundred steep meters to the hut are better walked, as the path becomes rough-stoned and hard to ride. After about twenty minutes of strenuous walking, you reach the Wangalm.
To the biking tour
- High Alm Hike. Extensive hike over a total of five beautiful alpine pastures in the Wetterstein mountains. With a pure walking time of about seven hours, challenging but rewarding, on the way you can also descend early at key points. From the parking lot Stupfer over the Wangalm, Rotmoosalm, the Steinerne Hüttl, the Gaistalalm to the Tillfußalm and relaxed back to the starting point via the famous Ganghoferweg.
To the hike
- Gehrenspitze. Moderately difficult summit tour from Leutasch through the Puittal and over the Scharnitzjoch to the Gehrenspitze (2,367m). Descent via the Wangalm into the Gaistal or return on the same path to Leutasch.
