A hike to some of the most amazing summits of the Tannheimer Tal, including the tallest (Köllenspitze 2238m) on a beautiful, sunny autumn day. The huts are still open. Break at Tannheimer Hütte 

The tour is mixed, with scrambling and easy/mid via ferrata (set not necessary for experienced mountaineers).

Depending on the conditions we might skip Köllenspitze (safe first! normal ascent is on the north side which might be snowy) and try Gehrenspitze instead (+4km, +350m gain).

You must contact me before joining, otherwise I might remove you.

Note: event start time is not the same as carpool meeting time

Technical Difficulty: This hike is suitable for fit, experienced hikers. You have to be surefooted and not have fear of heights. You should have experience with UIAA II scrambling, not be slow (>=450m gain/hour), and a pace of at least 5,5km/h in the flat parts. The website T6 rating is wrong, of course.

Weather forecast dry and sunny
