Description

We will traverse the ridge from Aschau to Oberaudorf and stop at the open Spitzstein hut on the descent. Several peaks and the short T4 sections are optional and we will adapt the route to the terrain conditions.

The automatic route statistics of the website is wrong!

Technical Difficulty: This hike is suitable for fit advanced hikers with excellent stamina. There is a short climbing section near Spitzstein secured with ropes. You must be surefooted, experienced with walking in snow, and not have fear of heights. You should not be slow (>=450m gain/hour), and a pace of at least 5,5km/h in the flat parts.

Weather forecast sunny and dry

avalanche risk low, evel 1

Transport: We will take public transport  Train RE5 departs 7:04 from Ostbahnhof (Hauptbahnhof 6:55), arrival 8:16 in Aschau. Bring your Deutschlandticket or organize your own ticket. Return from Oberaudorf every hour, probably at 16/17:10.

Legal disclaimer: This is not a guided tour. I merely organize the trip to the starting point with like-minded, qualified, properly equipped and reliable persons. Every participant must be able to navigate her/himself on the suggested route. If you join, you acknowledge that hiking is dangerous, you are fully responsible for yourself and that you have sufficient insurance (DAV, Bergrettung or similar).

Note: Please unjoin the event well in advance, if you don't want to come. You cannot unjoin the event when it is starting in less than 12 hours. No-shows will be recorded in your profile.
