Hi everyone,

The weather and snow conditions seem good enough to visit one of the higher Karwendel peaks.

Please note this is NOT a beginner hike. Join if you can keep a pace of 500hm/h and have already done a high elevation hike in winter. We might be slowed down by deep snow, therefore a good fitness level is mandatory.

Hike plan:

• We meet on a train towards Garmisch that leaves at 6:32.
• We start hiking at around 8:30 from Scharnitz.
• It will be about an 8h hike, optionally we can stop at Pleisenhütte on the way down.
• We return with a train from Scharnitz (departure times: 16:16, 17:28, 18:16)

Things to bring:

• crampons / spikes / snow shoes [MANDATORY],
• ice axe,
• gaiters,
• hiking poles,
• warm clothes for hiking in deep snow,
• enough water and food for the whole day,
• head light,
• first aid kit.
