Description

Day 3 - From the Eng to the Lamsenjoch hut

After a hearty breakfast we return to the Binsalm (on forest road or hiking trail) and continue to the western Lamsenjoch. From here you can hike almost flat on foot to the already visible Lamsenjochhütte. If you haven't had enough, take a detour over the Lamsenspitze, one of the most famous peaks of the Karwendel. You climb it over a varied - medium-heavy - via ferrata. Especially the passages through the "Lamsentunnel" and later through the "Turnerrinne" offer airy deep views and spectacular photos. Please use alpine experience and suitable equipment (helmet, fixed rope set), which you can also rent in the Lamsenhütte (please reserve!). Another night in a cosy hut atmosphere follows.
