The geographical location of Lech makes it an ideal starting point for hikes of all levels of difficulty. The village lies at an altitude of 1,450 metres and is surrounded by majestic mountains. This impressive backdrop creates a unique atmosphere and invites you to experience nature up close.

For nature lovers, there are countless hiking tours to choose from. From easy walks along the river to challenging mountain tours, there is something for everyone. One particularly popular route leads to Lake Formarin, a beautiful mountain lake with turquoise waters. The trail there offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and is suitable for both experienced and less experienced hikers.

Another highlight are the numerous hiking trails around the Rüfikopf mountain. Here visitors can choose between different routes and, depending on their fitness level, decide whether they want to take a leisurely walk or a challenging mountain hike. The trails are well marked and offer magnificent views of the valley as well as neighbouring peaks.

There are a variety of hiking options in Lech, especially for families with children.

    Eine sehr, sehr schöne Tour. Auf den einfach zu begehenden Wegen kann man wunderbar die Aussichten in alle Richtungen genießen. Gletschertobel lohnt die wenigen Meter Zuweg. Einkehrmöglichkeiten liegen perfekt, wir empfehlen eine erfrischende Molke auf der Batzenalpe. SkySpace oberhalb Lech mitnehmen, eindrucksvoll. In Lech wartet eine Belohnung aus der Bachstube an der Hauptstraße unweit des Busbahnhofs. Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen der Tour!

    Die Tour ist einfach super herausgearbeitet und wunderschön! Man läuft auf einsamen Wegen, die aber alle nicht groß technisch anspruchsvoll sind. Wir haben die Tour in 8 Tagen gemacht und mit einer Übernachtung auf der Fiderepass-Hütte gestartet. Leider ist dieses Jahr der Emil-Roth-Weg (zwischen Reutlinger und Heilbronner Hütte gesperrt). Wir sind an der Stelle dann über die Konstanzer Hütte direkt zur Friedrichshafener Hütte gelaufen. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Alpenüberquerungsroute!

    Schöne Rundtour auf meist gut ausgebauten Wanderwegen mit tollen Ausblicken auf die umliegenden Gipfel. Nur ein kurzes Stück auf schmalem, teils felsigem Pfad. Die 400hm sind gut zu bewältigen.

    herausfordernde Tour mit gewaltigem Panorama! Die abwechslungsreiche Landschaft entschädigt für alle Strapazen, die der lange Aufstieg zur Braunarlspitze mit sich bringt. Trittsicherheit und Schwindelfreiheit sind an einigen Stellen wirklich angebracht.

    Wir haben die Lechquellrunde wie hier beschrieben in 6 Tagen gemacht, aber in umgekehrte Richtung. War richtig schön. Hier gibt es mehr Infos: https://www.dav-biberach.de/images/DAV/Huette/flyer-lechquellenrunde_2018.pdf Beide Richtungen gehen super, vielleicht geht der Gehrengrat sogar in die richtung die wir ihn gelaufen sind einfacher. Da noch recht viel Schnee lag konnten wir die Tour zwischen Freiburger und Göppinger Hütte nicht machen, sind dafür im Tal den Lechweg an dem Tag gelaufen, was eine schöne Strecke war.
