Description

Day 4 - From Lamsenjochhütte to Stans
Leaving the hut in a south-eastern direction, you can choose between a hiking trail or the rough forest path down to the Stallenalm, where the valley of the same name begins.
The Stallental valley is well-known to every Tyrolean schoolchild because the last bear in Tyrol was killed here in 1898. Crossing meadows and through the forest, you go down the valley until you reach the footpath towards St. Georgenberg, Wolfsklamm and Stans. St. Georgenberg is a baroque pilgrimage church dating back to the first monastery founded in Tyrol around 950. After a fire, the monastery was later rebuilt in Fiecht in the Inn valley.

Back to Stans you can hike along the Kreuzweg (over a small bridge) to Weng until you reach the turnoff to Stans. The way back via the Wolfsklamm is NOT possible!
