Description:
The hike to the Füssener Hut or Otto Mayr Hut with descent via the Gessenwangalm (not managed) follows easy mountain paths.
Directions:From Grän, take the 8-person gondola lift to the Füssener Jöchle. The starting point of the hike is the mountain station/Sonnenalm, from there it continues to the Raintaler Joch. The descent goes down slopes to the Füssener Hut and/or Otto Mayr Hut. Here you will find a rich variety of wildlife and alpine flora, ideal places to relax. From the Otto Mayr Hut, retrace a short section of the same route, then head west to begin the ascent to the Hallergehrenjoch, from where the descent leads past the Gessenwangalm (not managed). The last stretch follows the forest road back to Grän to the valley station/parking lot of the 8-person gondola lift.
Tip:There are dining and overnight accommodation options at both the Füssener Hut and the Otto Mayr Hut. From both huts, you will find an extensive network of trails with hiking, climbing, and summiting routes.
Safety guidelines:It should be noted that mountaineering can involve an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparing for the tour through endurance sports, appropriate technical training, further education, and personal caution reduces the risk of accidents and dangers. But please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on marked hiking trails.
Equipment:Your personal mountaineering equipment must be safe, functional, and meet the appropriate technical standards. Every hiker is recommended to inform themselves about the planned routes through alpine literature or on-site guidance.
