Detour back to the main routeTo reconnect with the Lechtaler Höhenweg from the Simmshütte, we have to cross the Kälberlahnzugjoch a second time—which is naturally a bit more challenging on the ascent. Beyond that, however, the elevation can be maintained almost entirely, and we can skillfully transition via the Stierlahnzugjoch into the Alperschon, where we later rejoin the main route. The entire route is filled with the most magnificent scenery. The final few meters beyond the pass deserve special mention as a key section—this unstable, gully-like slope can easily make one feel a bit uneasy.

The challenging Augsburg High Trail via the Parseierscharte and DawinkopfOn the south side of the Lechtal Alps, the Augsburg Hut is not included in the standard traverse route. This can be achieved via the truly challenging Augsburger Höhenweg—an option that should be considered only by highly capable, high-alpine-experienced hikers, and then only under favorable weather conditions. The Augsburger Höhenweg winds its way for a long stretch through rugged, often unstable terrain. Only the first hour or so—serving as a “warm-up,” so to speak—follows the pattern of standard mountain trails. The lengthy, sometimes very steep, and morning-shaded traverse of the Stierlochkopf, Schwarzlochkopf, and Grießmuttekopf significantly increases the difficulty, which is likely to overwhelm inexperienced hikers. At the Parseierscharte, we can catch our breath a bit, though we haven’t even reached the halfway point yet. And the most treacherous crossings over loose scree now lie ahead all the way to the Dawinscharte—an incalculable risk in the presence of ice or lingering snow and strongly discouraged. At the Dawinkopf, this trail of superlatives reaches its highest point and the second-highest peak in the Lechtal Alps: certainly an emotional highlight, especially since the panorama is breathtaking. Almost within reach, the Parseierspitze, over 3,000 meters high, forms, as it were, the crown of this mountain range. Directly below lies the remaining ice of the Grinner Ferner; from its basin, you descend via a steep but well-secured rock barrier into the Gasill Gorge. Then you’re almost there—the Augsburger Hut, perched like a balcony, is not far off…
