Hi everyone, I’m organizing a 2-day intermediate hike through the Karwendel Alps with an overnight stay at the Karwendelhaus. The route is highly scenic but decently long, so a solid fitness level is required.
Technical difficulty: Some part of the hike has difficulty T4 as per the route map. Please read the blog to understand the requirements for sac scale T4.
I have booked 8 beds on a Matratzenlager in Karwendelhaus (18-19 July 2026).
Please read the details below and if you would like to join, before you hit the "join" button send me a private message.
Details:
This is a multi day intermediate hike (2 days, with 1 overnight stay in Hütte). Plans might change on the go, depending on terrain conditions, weather, how we feel. By signing up, you commit to the €20 hut no-show fee, which must be sent via PayPal. This deposit is fully refundable at the start of the event. I will share my PayPal details once you send me a private message. If you drop out last minute, you must cover the no-show fee or find a replacement.
