Description
Dreamlike, challenging scenic ridge tour from Gießenbach to Mittenwald over the Arnspitzgruppe.
A very strenuous but rewarding tour for those with sufficient fitness and the ability to handle climbing sections up to grade II+ without a rope.
A very strenuous but rewarding tour for those with sufficient fitness and the ability to handle climbing sections up to grade II+ without a rope.
NOT FOR BEGGINERS !!!
This tour is only for experienced mountaineers that have already done several easier T5 routes with at least UIAA 1 scrambling.
Difficulty is SAC T5 / UIAA level II+.
This is a propper alpine ridge tour, definitely not a "hike" (here on HB everything is a hike apparently).
It requires surefootedness, good unsecured scrambling skills, no fear of heights or exposure and mental strenght to overcome it.
You need to be experienced and only such people should attempt this route.
We will take a relaxed pace (~400hm/h) both up and down.. there are enough trains from Mittenwald back to Munich so no worries there..
Disclaimer: You are responsible for yourself. Hiking can be dangerous, I am not a state certified mountain guide and this is not a guided tour. Make yourself familiar with the route and its requirements. It is recommended to have DAV Membership/Insurance (or similar).
Good to know
Starting at 6:32 from Munich Hbf we take the RB60 towards Mittenwald. We reach Mittenwald Hbf at 8:23.
Once there we take the S6 towards Gießenbach in Tyrol train station which we should reach at 8:36 and where we exit and start our hike towards the "Hoher Sattel". From there we hike up towards Weißlehnkopf (2002m) and start our Arnspitze traverse ridge tour all the way to Große Arnspitze after which we hike down towards Arnspitzhütte and turn left to continue our hike towards Riedkopf (1860m). From there we descend down to Mittenwald following the road alongside Schartenkopf..
We take the next available train back to Munich. (depending on the time we need for this tour)
