Description

Caution: Above the tree line at the junction (about 100 altitude meters below the Wetterstein hut and the Wangalm): please lock your bikes and take the last section on foot. From here on the trail becomes very steep and rough. Please keep your distance from grazing cattle and cross the grazing area calmly and quickly.

For fit mountainbikers: One of the most beautiful views of the entire Region Seefeld - Tirols Hochplateau: Wettersteinhütte and Wangalm
This tour starts directly at the Salzbach car park, in the very west of Leutasch. However, do not ride further into the valley but along the asphalted road back to the district Klamm. Then you turn north at the "Fiakerstüberl", follow the municipal road before you reach the forest road (gravel). From now on, the route continues uphill all the time. The beauty of the tour is the dense forest with its shady trees and many nice resting places. The forest road is very easy to ride on and meanders uphill in several hairpin bends, but also in long, almost flat sections. Lock your bikes at the junction above the tree line and hike the last 100  altitude meters. After 10 minutes of walking you can decide: To the right is the Wangalm, to the left the Wettersteinhütte. Both destinations offer fantastic views. The huts are on the south side, so you can enjoy the sun all day long when the weather is fine.

For those who want a sneak peek, here are two videos:

 

To get back to the starting point / parking lot, take the same way back .

Attention pasture cattle, please keep distance and cross the pasture area calmly and quickly.
