Trail condition

The route leads through open, unmarked terrain and is not maintained.

Good personal preparation and the right equipment are especially important for snowshoe hiking. Before starting the tour, it's essential to check the current avalanche report. Since the terrain is unmarked, downloading the GPX data for the route is recommended. Additionally, the SOS EU-ALP app, developed for mountain emergencies, is recommended.

Equipment

Lightweight and stable snowshoes, adjusted to body weight. Telescopic poles for better grip and added stability. This equipment can be rented at numerous sports shops in the region.

Multiple layers of clothing, warm gloves, a hat, a waterproof jacket and pants, as well as winter hiking boots, are recommended.

Description

The starting point of the hike on the Wildmoos Plateau can be reached from Seefeld in various ways: on foot, with a romantic carriage ride, or comfortably by the Wildmoos bus.

The hike begins at the idyllic Wildmoosalm. From there, turn left before reaching the Alm and follow the Brunschkopf Panorama Trail (Path No. 63) to the Brunschkopf viewpoint (Path No. 62), passing Möserer Höhe (Path No. 61). Here, you can enjoy the impressive mountain panorama through a high-quality Swarovski binocular.

Continue along the Blattsteig (Path No. 60) to Mösern, where the tour ends at the Mösern Information Office.

Tip: On the way back, follow the Broch Trail (signs for Möserer See/Brunschkopf) uphill and take a detour to the Peace Bell. This path leads to a symbol of peace in the Alps and rewards you with a stunning 360° view of the Inn Valley and surrounding mountain ranges.
