Description

The tour begins at the Hahnenkammbahn top station. From here, follow the Alpenrosenweg trail to the Lechaschauer Alpine Pasture and enjoy stunning views of the Reutte Valley along the way. After a leisurely break at the Alpine Pasture, the same trail leads back to the top station.

The requirements for an accessible Hiking Trail are certainly met here. The trail is accessible but is classified as a difficult (black) route. This means a traction device, such as a Swiss-Trac, is required. Without a mobility aid, the trail can only be managed with the assistance of a physically fit companion to push you. The altitude to be “conquered” is kept to a minimum thanks to the ascent via the Hahnenkammbahn.

Please note: Cycling is not permitted on the Alpenrosenweg!
