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.

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.

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.
