Long-distance hike Eagle Walk Stage 08: Erfurter Hütte - Lamsenjochhütte

Welcome to the second week of hiking on the Adlerweg. After the last physical challenges, today is a leisurely start: The Rofanbahn cable car takes us down into the valley, the first few kilometers are flat along the shores of Lake Achensee. Already nervous because it sounds so much like a walk? Don't worry, the steep hairpin bends to the Lamsenjochhütte will come - for sure!

Description

Route description: From the Erfurter Hütte take the Rofan cable car down to Maurach or start in Maurach. From there, take the footpath along the south or south-west shore of Lake Achensee to Pertisau to the start of the toll road into the Karwendel valleys (in Pertisau, follow the signs for "Karwendeltäler"). Immediately after the toll booth, follow the "Gramaialm" signs to the left into the Falzthurntal valley. Now on a wide, asphalted footpath in the forest, barely noticeably ascending to the Falzthurnalm with the Sennhütte Falzthurn and the Alpengasthof Falzthurn. The asphalt section ends here.

Then continue on a gently ascending footpath across meadows into the valley (nowhere on the left up the slope), crossing the usually dry gravel stream bed here and there, to the Gramaialm. From the Gramaialm, continue along the cart track into the valley towards the Lamsenjochhütte. Soon the mostly dry stream bed is crossed to the left. The route continues through the valley floor and past the turn-off to the Gramai-Hochleger. From here, the stage follows a path. It goes through the Gramaier Grund and towards the steep slope at the head of the valley (south), above which the Lamsenspitze towers prominently on the right. The trail then leads up the slope to the left for a short distance before crossing scree slopes into the valley. Finally, the route winds its way up the partly gravelly and quite steep slope. Finally, a few steps to the left from the ridge to the Lamsenjoch hut, which is already visible.
