Mountain hikes in the Tannheim Valley

This varied bike-and-hike tour combines a leisurely mountain bike ride up through the Vilsalpsee Valley with a challenging mountain hike through stunning alpine scenery.

A loop hike from Lake Vilsalpsee over the four peaks of Schochenspitze, Lachenspitze, Steinkarspitze, and Rote Spitze, featuring fantastic mountain views, several places to stop for a break, and a unique view of three lakes.

A challenging round-trip hike to the highest peak in the Tannheim Mountains, the Köllenspitze. From there, you’ll enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of Neuschwanstein Castle and the surrounding mountains. On the way back, you can stop for a break at the Tannheimer Hütte or the Gimpelhaus. 

This scenic circular hike in the heart of the Tannheimer Mountains offers everything a hiker’s heart desires: challenging ascents, high-altitude trails with spectacular views, two summit experiences, and a picturesque descent past two mountain lakes back down into the valley. Since the direct traverse at the Schochenspitze is closed, this route leads safely down via the Schochensattel. You’ll need to be in good shape and have plenty of stamina—the last 5 km can be quite a slog. If you’d like, you can take the gondola and the bus to make both the ascent and the return trip easier.
