Description

Let's hike one the most famous hikes in the Allgäu (for its views and flowers), the Hochgrat ridge traverse, by fair means.

Hikers with <1000 points or no T4 hikes must send me a PM with details about their other experience and fitness within 1h after joining. Otherwise they will be removed.

Preliminary schedule:

  1. 7:20 train R70/bus 95 to Steibis Hochgratbahn
  2. 10:00 arrival , start of hike
  3. ca 12:00 Staufner Haus
  4. ca 16:30 Mittag Bergstation
  5. ca 18:00 Immenstadt, optional dinner
  6. 18:17/19:06/19:17/20:06/21:04/22:04/22:58 train to Munich (about 1:40)

Technical Difficulty: This hike is NOT suitable for beginners. You have to be surefooted and must have very good stamina. You should have experience with easy scrambling, not be slow (>=500m gain/hour), and a pace of at least 5km/h in the flat parts.

Weather forecast sunny

Transport: We'll use public transport. A Deutschlandticket is sufficient. Otherwise you need to buy your own ticket.

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.
