Equipment

This stage of the hike does not require special safety instructions. General surefootedness and mountain equipment are considered a matter of course on our tours; otherwise, this stage is a comfortable hike without major alpine key points or dangerous passages.  

Proper equipment for alpine mountain hikes is a matter of course for all tours in the Alps. Secure hiking boots or mountaineering shoes, breathable outdoor pants, a rain jacket, as well as a backpack with provisions, drinks, and a first aid kit are always part of the standard equipment on tours in the Alps. Sunglasses, sunscreen, headwear such as a bandana or hiking hat are also highly recommended, as well as a warm second jacket, trekking poles if desired, and possibly gloves. The choice of clothing should of course always be adapted to the current weather conditions.

Description

The conclusion of the trekking tour is a leisurely "migrating out" along historic paths. From the Frischmann Hut, you start flat and gently uphill towards the "Waalweg," a historic path beside a small brook, which shortly afterward along the way was channeled with wooden troughs and ingenious guiding systems to a irrigation canal for fields and alpine pastures. With a magnificent view over the Fundus Valley, you then reach the Köfler Pass, from there it's only a short leap between the alpine roses to descend to the Hintere Fundus Alm. There the local hut taxi awaits to bring the participants back down to the valley to their accommodation.
