Would you like a variation? Then we have a short, enjoyable stage with many surprising views in store, so to speak. Over grassy slopes, scree and under mighty walls, a magnificent panoramic view of the Silvretta region and Verwall awaits us on this tour. We spend the night at the popular Ulmer Hütte in the Arlberg region.
Difficult stage on black mountain paths. Sure-footedness for steep grass and scree slopes is required. A good level of fitness, concentration and basic alpine knowledge are also required.
The actual starting point of the Lechtaler Höhenweg is the Stuttgarter Hütte. Heading east, you soon pass the Erlijoch at 2,430 metres between the Erlispitze and Fanggekarspitze peaks. Then you pass the Erlachalpe in the Almajurtal valley below the Valluga and finally the Stapfe-Tobel. Caution is advised here. This section is dangerous in snow and wet conditions, but can be bypassed via Erlachalpe and Bodenalpe. The Leutkircher Hütte on the rounded Almajurjoch offers comfortable overnight accommodation.
