Circular hike

Hiking tour

Attention: The Wetterstein Hut remains closed until further notice.

This extensive and varied hike through the alpine paradise of Gaistal can also be done in sections, depending on your preference. The diverse High Alpine Circular Hike starts right from the hiking parking lot P2 (Stupfer) in Leutasch's Gaistal. A large wooden sign marks the path leading towards the Wettersteinhütte and Wangalm.

At the beginning, you'll face a steep and sporty climb through beautiful forest trails before reaching a wide gravel forest road. Follow the yellow hiking signs up to just below the rustic Wettersteinhütte (1,717 m). Here, you can choose between a spectacular path directly to the hut or a slightly easier ascent. Both routes require good footing and stamina, but once you reach the hut, you can enjoy delicious food with stunning views of the Wetterstein mountains.

A little further on, you'll find the idyllic Wangalm (1,753 m). Here, you can experience traditional alpine life up close in a cozy setting. Climbers can explore several rock climbing routes nearby, while peak baggers can follow signs to the Gehrenspitze summit (2,367
