Stage without summit – Day 6: Mandarfen – Mandarfen
Start
Mandarfen (1677m)
Finish
Mandarfen (1677m)
Starting point Mandarfen: the day starts leisurely with a ride up on the Glacier Express. At the top station a trail on the left leads East across the Mittelberg Glacier. Please note that this glacier crossing towards the Braunschweiger mountain hut requires experience in Alpine terrain. The steep descent from the hut, in parts over steps, rewards with fantastic views of the surrounding glacier world. The rocky waterfall trail passes the icefall down towards the catered mountain hut Gletscherstube. Once there, return to Mandarfen following the agricultural road.
Stage without summit – Day 4: Vari. I Piösmes – Plangeroß
Start
Piösmes (1387m)
Finish
Plangeroß (1610m)
Starting point district Piösmes: Go back to Scheibe and then follow a forest road, then a steep forest path for 1.5 hours until you reach the catered mountain hut. This is the first and only optional food station of this day’s tour. Then follow a wide forest road for ca. 1 km until you are beneath the Rappenkopf summit, then turn off onto a steep trail in a Southerly direction. Follow this uphill trail until you reach another fork after approximately 500 metres and again turn in a southerly direction. Here a high-level trail built in 2012 starts, which will remain on approximately the same level between 2,000 m and 2,400m beneath the Seirlöcherkogel summit and in the direction of Neururer Berg summit. Along this section there are several fantastic viewing points in the direction of Mandarfen or the Mittagskogel summit and Pitztal’s glaciers. After approximately 4 hours walking time you will reach the Neururer Berg mountain and cross the Seebach brook via a wooden bridge. Then follow a trail in a southerly direction until you reach Lake Mittelberglsee at 2,446 metres. Once there, continue on a slightly sloping trail that is secured with ropes in the direction of Karlesegg (leads to the high-level trail “Cottbuser Höhenweg”). Then hike via the catered mountain hut Plangeroßer Alm to Plangeroß.
Stage with summit – Day 3: Wiese - Piösmes
Start
Wiese (1187m)
Finish
Piösmes (1404m)
Starting point Wiese: Approximately 100 metres before the hamlet Wiese, follow the agricultural road to the
catered mountain hut Söllbergalm. Once there, a trail leads on through larch and pine forests on a continuously steep trail in the direction of Lake Brechsee. After a 30 minute walk, turn off in the direction of Stallkogel – Mauchele Alm. Then you will come across a newly built, moderately steep trail starting at the catered mountain hut Mauchele Alm. After following the red road markings for approximately 500 metres turn left and walk uphill across rocky terrain towards the catered mountain hut Neubergalm. (Please note that you will have to be sure-footed and unafraid of heights for this section! However, you will be rewarded with beautiful views of the valley). After Neubergalm, a shaded trail leads through mixed woodland to the beautifully set catered mountain hut Tiefentalalm. From the idyllic setting of the Tiefentalalm, the trail continues across the Gschwandt stream. It then leads up to the Kreuzjoch peak, from where you gaze at the peaks around you with the beautiful Pitztal Geigenkamm ridge in front of you. At first the trail continues steeply and then more gently down past the catered mountain hut Arzler Alm towards Scheibe.The agricultural road in Scheibe takes you back to Piösmes.
