Adlerweg-Etappe 09: Lamsenjochhütte – Falkenhütte
****
Routine is slowly setting in, at least for the long-distance hikers who are on their ninth day of hiking. Packing their rucksacks is now a familiar routine, as is lacing up their hiking boots and the daily anticipation of the day's unknown. What will it be like, the route between Lamsenjoch and Falkenhütte? What encounters will we have and what will we eat?
Medium-difficult stage on red mountain paths. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are necessary at the start. The rest of the route sometimes follows wide forest paths. A good level of fitness is required.
trail description: From Lamsenjoch Hut, retrace your steps from the ascent route until you reach the dip. From there, follow signage to “Binsalm” and “Falkenhütte”. The path takes you gently downhill along steep slopes past Lamsenspitze Peak towards western Lamsenjoch Saddle (elev. 1,940m). On the other side of the saddle, stroll down towards “Binsalpe” and “Eng”. The path soon merges with a dirt road, which leads through wide open terrain and past Binsalm-Hochleger. There are various opportunities for a shortcut if you take the footpaths.
Having passed Binsalm-Niederleger, follow the broad forest road along the deeply incised valley leading down to Eng Alpine Pasture Village (elev. 1,270m). Leave behind the last homes of Eng and follow the broad footpath to your right towards Falken Hut. The trail takes you gently uphill leading through meadows and mixed forest until you reach Hohljoch Col (elev. 1,794m). From the col you will traverse Laliderer Reisen on a well-maintained trail. A gradual and gentle climb will take you upward to Spielissjoch Saddleback. From there, a forest road brings you to Falken Hut, situated at an elevation of 1,848 metres.
