Description

Embark on the adventure of the Imster Höhenweg - a high alpine ridge hike that requires excellent fitness, surefootedness and a head for heights. The trail is very steep in parts and even secured by ropes in some places. With a challenging ascent of 1762 vertical meters over 13 kilometers, this is not a hike for beginners. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Laggers to the Pleiskopf before descending to the Muttekopfhütte and returning to the lift via the Drischlsteig.
Ready for the ultimate high alpine and ridge hiking experience?
