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…

The starting point of stage 3 is the bus stop „Pians Abzweigung Silvretta“. From here, the path leads us over the Pianner district Quadratsch up to Grins. There are just 100 meters of elevation to overcome. Over the Jakobsweg, it goes across beautifully laid terraces to Stanz. There, the impressively situated Schrofenstein castle ruins await us, which tower high above the Landeck valley basin. Now follows the descent down to Landeck and then on to Zams.

The Spiehlerweg via the Patrol and WegscharteThe route connecting the Augsburger and Memminger Hütten—commonly known as the Spiehlerweg—is also considered quite challenging and is therefore best suited for experienced mountain hikers. The most challenging section here appears to be the steep north face below the Patrolscharte, which is hardly any less demanding than the terrain on the Augsburger Höhenweg. Viewed over the entire route, however, the hike is noticeably less demanding, not least in terms of physical endurance. The course of this stage is exciting and varied. First, you’ll cross the Gatschkopf, a remarkable peak at nearly 3,000 meters. Beyond it lies the secluded Patrolkar, which can be traversed efficiently along a high route to reach the connection via the Wegscharte toward the Memminger Hütte and thus back onto the main route of the Lechtaler Höhenweg. After sweeping views from the Gatschkopf and rugged, up-close scenery in the Patrol, the final section welcomes us with a wonderfully winding high valley featuring three enchanting lakes—the upper one still in a barren landscape, the lower one already caressed by the green of the mountain meadows.
