Short description

High alpine ridge hike through jagged rocks – three peaks in one day. From the Kanzelwand calbe car via the Hammerspitzen and Hochgehrenspitze to the Fiderepasshütte and descent to the valley (only for experienced).

Description

During this tour you climb three peaks: The Walser Hammerspitze, the Hochgehrenspitze and the Oberstdorfer Hammerspitze. Over a jagged, craggy ridge, right at the Austrian-German border, the trail leads you from Kanzelwand lift to the Fiderepasshütte. The first longer ascent may therefore be overcome quite easily by the lift (chargeable). The partially exposed path over the ridge is however only recommended for very sure-footed hikers free from giddiness.
