Description

You start in the center of Ehrwald. You walk through the beautiful mixed beech forest along the Wetterstein ski area to above the mountain station. Here you cross the Lähngraben and then follow the slightly descending forest path to the Gamsalm.
You have the option of returning via the same route, shortening the way back a little along the ski slopes or opting for the quickest descent in the direction of “Ehrwald Ebne”/camping and taking one of the summer buses from there.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
● Stay on the marked hiking trails
● Keep your distance from grazing animals
● Observe the opening hours of the huts
● Alpine emergency call: 140
