With a length of around 100 kilometres and an altitude of between 2000 and 2500 metres, the Lechtaler Höhenweg follows the main ridge of the Lechtal Alps.
The actual starting point of the Lechtaler Höhenweg is the Stuttgarter Hütte. Heading east, you soon pass the Erlijoch at 2,430 metres between the Erlispitze and Fanggekarspitze peaks. Then you pass the Erlachalpe in the Almajurtal valley below the Valluga and finally the Stapfe-Tobel. Caution is advised here. This section is dangerous in snow and wet conditions, but can be bypassed via Erlachalpe and Bodenalpe. The Leutkircher Hütte on the rounded Almajurjoch offers comfortable overnight accommodation.
