The last day of hiking is approaching and promises a brilliant end to the tour. The so-called royal stage demands everything from the long-distance hikers once again: 1,160 meters uphill and a crisp 2,600 meters downhill. Today we have 9.5 hours (walking) time to sum up the tour. In the valley village of See, we pat ourselves on the back. What a week, what a monumental finale.
Difficult, strenuous stage on black mountain paths. Alpine experience and surefootedness are required. You also need to be in very good physical condition and have good walking technique for almost 10 hours of walking.
From Edmund-Graf-Hütte lodge, the first ascent of the stage takes you up to Kappler Joch at 2,672 metres above sea level. From there, you can see the first stages of the High Route on the opposite side of the valley. Continue upwards until you reach the picturesque Blankaseen lakes and Durrichalpe, one of the most beautiful spots of the Paznaun valley. After the following exhausting ascent along the footpath to Spidur Alpe lodge at 2,120 metres above sea level, it’s time for a well-deserved break. From Spidur Alpe, the trail runs up to Niederjöchl at 2,346 metres above sea level. From there, a gorgeous ridge runs towards Pezinerspitze at 2,550 metres above sea level. Pezinerspitze is the last summit of this stage, and it offers you amazing views in all directions, including some of the completed stages. From there, continue downhill along the north face, looking towards Strengen in the Stanzer valley, past Kleingfallalpe towards Falgenair, where the trail loops back to the Paznaun valley. Passing through the first hamlets of See, continue along the road to the end of the final stage in See.
