Südwandsteig
The Südwandsteig traces the south side of the Wetterstein mountains along the base of vertical, menacing rock walls, passing seven mountain pastures through terrain that demands sure-footedness. Its southern exposure keeps it hikeable well into late fall, when the Gaistal valley takes on a Canadian-forest character and some mountain huts remain open for refreshment stops.
