Hiking tour

Hut hike

Summit hike

The starting point of this challenging tour is parking lot P6 near the Maxhütte. From there, you pass the Ichthyol factory and follow hiking trail No. 84 to the Reitherjochalm at 1,505 meters. The path initially follows a forest road until, after crossing the Mühlbach stream, trail No. 84 turns into a steeper footpath that leads through the forest. You pass under the cable lift that supplies the hut with food and quickly gain altitude on the winding trail. Finally, you reach the Nördlinger Hütte at 2,238 meters, the highest hut in the Karwendel range. From there, the trail continues along the "Reither Spitze Normal Route" to the Reither Spitze peak (2,374 meters). From the top, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding mountain ranges and a wide panorama across the entire plateau. This route is suited for experienced
