Description

From the Landshuter Europahütte, 2.693 m, the Geistbeckweg trail No. 529 leads to the Sumpfschaftl, 2.666 m. The path becomes more challenging after the Sumpfschartl, with rocky terrain and boulders. A secured passage with ladders leads from the Lange Wand to the Stierkar and further to the Inneren Zeischalm. Then the trail widens, and a gravel road passes by the Nockeralm to the Touristenrast, 1.345 meters. From the Touristenrast in the Valsertal, you hike on trail No. 502 for about an hour to the material cable car. From there, it winds in switchbacks on a path to the forest limit and then continues openly to the Geraer Hütte, 2.326 m.
