Explore the Wetterstein Mountains while hiking

In the Wetterstein mountains you can enjoy picturesque panoramas on your hike. From Lermoos you can explore the Tyrolean mountains on various tours. The hike to the Coburger Hütte, which lies between the two mountain lakes Seebensee and Drachensee, is particularly attractive. A varied route takes you from the Ehrwalder Alm via the Seebensee to the Coburger Hütte. Here you can expect an impressive view of the Zugspitze reflected in the lake.

The hut above Lermoos is also a good starting point for other tours. For example, set off from here via Biberwier to the Wolfratshauser Hütte. Beautiful panoramic views accompany you on your ascent. You can also climb the Grubigstein and the Gartner Wand.

Challenging and relaxed hikes in Lermoos

On the hiking tours in the Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena you can put your sporting skills to the test. The region around Lermoos offers a number of tours for experienced hikers that require good physical condition and surefootedness. These include the hike to the Daniel and the Ups Spitze. To ensure that you are safe at the summit and in the valley, you should bring non-slip shoes for tours of this kind. At the Tuftl Alm you will find a viewing platform - from there you have a beautiful view of the valley and the surrounding mountains.

If you only want to do a short hike in Lermoos or have little hiking experience, you will also find what you are looking for here. Start directly in Lermoos and hike leisurely to the Brettlalm. The short hike is particularly suitable for families. Once you have reached the top, you can enjoy the view over a delicious meal. You have several options for the descent to Lermoos, which you can also do in a relaxed way by train.

Via ferrata in the Alps around Lermoos

Whoever is looking for a little thrill and a special sporting challenge should take advantage of the via ferratas in the Wettersteingebirge. Especially the via ferrata over the Stopselzieher on the Zugspitze is popular with climbers. In contrast to the often crowded hiking trails, you can enjoy much more peace and quiet here. As the Stopselzieher is not completely rope-secured, you should definitely bring some experience with you.

The via ferrata to the Tajakopf also offers spectacular views. This is quite demanding and only accessible in summer. The blue mountain lakes and green valleys can be seen below you, while the peaks of the Mieminger chain and the Ammergau Alps are in view.

Discover the culture of Lermoos

If you want to explore the region on more than just hiking trails, you should take a day to explore the village of Lermoos. Here you can enjoy art and culture. One of the most important sights of the municipality is the "Catholic Parish Church of Lermoos St. Catherine". The church stands on the main square of the village and has existed in its present form since the 18th century. In the village you will also find a large number of listed buildings.

You should pay a visit to the "Dietrich'schen Ansitz", among others. The stately middle-floor building still contains elements from the Rococo period. The "Ortskapelle heiliger Josef" is also an important sacred building. In the prayer room you will find a statue of St. Joseph from 1720. Last but not least, the Ansitz Felsenheim should be mentioned. The building was built as early as 1727, although it was originally used as a brewery.

    Eine wirklich schöne Tour – (fast) immer die Zugspitze im Blick. Beim Abstieg durch die Biberwierer Scharte muss man etwas aufpassen, gerade auf dem feinen Schotter; hier helfen Wanderstöcke. In Biberwier (direkt an der Kirche) findet man sogar einen MPreis, hier kann man sich nochmals mit Getränken und Snacks stärken. Diese Etappe ist nicht überlaufen, und im Sommer findet man auf der Wolfratshauser Hütte gut eine Übernachtungsmöglichkeit. Die Coburger Hütte mit dem Sebensee, dem Drachensee und dem Ausblick auf das Zugspitzmassiv ist ein mega Aussichtspunkt (Postkartenmotiv). Auf dem Weg zur Coburger Hütte lohnt sich eine Einkehr auf der Sebenalm (leckeres Essen) – egal, ob man aus Richtung Knorrhütte, Ehrwalder Alm oder Hochfeldernalm kommt. Ich wurde noch nie auf einer dieser Hütten enttäuscht. Von der Wolfratshauser Hütte hat man ebenfalls die Zugspitze fest im Blick. Ich bin schon mehrmals von der Wolfratshauser Hütte über das Sommerbergjöchle ins Lechtal oder noch weiter ins Tannheimer Tal gewandert. Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten bieten hier z. B. die Ehenbichler Alm und die Sennalpe Raaz. Aber auch hier gibt es unzählige Varianten und den ein oder anderen Gipfel unterwegs zum Mitnehmen.

    If you have some energy left, or do not want to walk over a boring gravel road, go to the waterfall at Rinnen and walk on the left side of the river/lake, which is a real hiking trail.

    Bis zur Biberwierer Scharte ist der Weg landschaftlich sehr schön. Die Scharte ist im oberen Teil vor allem bei Nässe sehr heikel und das Geröll sehr rutschig! Sobald man in den Bereich der Latschenkiefern kommt, wird der Weg etwas breiter und schlängelt sich in Serpentinen abwärts. In Biberwier gibt es in der Nähe der Kirche einen Supermarkt. Die Wolfratshauser Hütte hat uns sehr gut gefallen: nicht so überfüllt wie die anderen Hütten, die näher an der Zugspitze liegen, sehr komfortabel und gutes Essen.

    Völlig unschwerer Rundweg im Tal. Einfache und gute Wege mit schönem Blick auf das Zugspitzmassiv. Allerdings so gut wie kein Schatten - daher nachmittags bei hohen Temperaturen nix. Habe direkt in der Ortsmitte beim Gemeindeamt geparkt - das ist zwei Stunden kostenlos möglich.

    Ich bin nicht an der Fernpass Straße entlang, sondern kurz vorher geht's nach rechts ab (Schild Fernpass-Nassereith). Viel schönerer Weg im leichten auf und ab im Wald und kommt dann im Ort Fernpass wieder auf den Adlerweg.

    It’s a nice tour but the timing is ridiculous. Up took us 1:45 and down easily 2h. Still overtaking a fair amount of people on the way. Plan at least 4h for this tour if you are not planning to run up and down.

    Wir sind die Tour in der umgekehrten Richtung gegangen. Der Anstieg über die regendurchweichte, steile Wiese hat uns mächtig gefordert und allzumal fragen lassen, ob wir uns das wirklich antun wollen. Der Weg zum Pitzenegg wollte schier nicht enden. ABER es hat sich soetwas von gelohnt. Die Aussicht ist der Wahnsinn, der Gradweg traumhaft schön und definitiv nur für trittsichere und schwindelfreie Personen geeignet! In unserer Richtung ist ziemlich zu Beginn eine Kraxelstelle, die mentale Stärke fordert, wenn man sie abklettert. Und es war niemand anderes unterwegs.
