    This hike takes you to the Edelsberg to the Edelsberghütte. First, you follow a beautifully located forest road to a high plateau on Edelsberg, where you are rewarded with a beautiful Alpine panorama and vast mountain meadows. Upon arrival at the hut, you enjoy your well-deserved stopover before heading back via the Vilstal, always along the Vils River.

    Author’s recommendation

    By the way, there is also a delicious hut breakfast at the Edelsberghütte!

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot at the Röfleuten Fire Station, the hiking path initially leads over a section of ski slope before you take the left turn onto the forest road. Follow this until you reach the Edelsberghütte. The descent takes place via the Vilstal. You will find this directly to the left of the hut, where the path leads you through the forest back down to the valley. You return to the Fire Station by following the path to the left onto the asphalt road once you have reached the bottom. Follow the signs back to the starting point in Pfronten-Röfleuten.

    Die Tour ist bei Regen gut zu bewältigen

    Ja ist gut machbar. Runter geht es durch den Wald über ein paar Wurzeln, dort könnte es leicht matschig werden.

    Hallo Kate Lo, die Wegebeschaffenheit ist für Wanderungen mit dem Kinderwagen geeignet. Allerdings hat die Tour doch einige Höhenmeter die zu berücksichtigen sind! Die Wanderung zur Gundhütte ist keine der einfacheren Touren mit Kinderwagen. Herzliche Grüße aus Pfronten
