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.
