A moderate hike for connoisseurs with a magnificent panoramic view.
Starting from Grän, take the gondola to the Füssener Jöchle. Continue to the Raintaler Joch, Vilser Scharte, and the Große Schlicke, about 1 1/2 hours. The same route back to the Füssener Jöchle. Walking time about 2 1/2 hours.
Starting from the Füssener Jöchle mountain station, continue over the Raintaler Joch and the Vilser Scharte to the Große Schlicke. A magnificent view over the Tannheimer Tal and the adjacent Allgäu rewards the efforts of the ascent.

Safety information
General valid and usual rules of conduct.
It should be noted that there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries in mountaineering. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparing for tours through endurance sports, appropriate technical training, and further education as well as personal prudence reduces the risk of accidents and dangers. But please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
Roadbook
To the right beside the valley station of the cable car in Grän goes the footpath to the Füssener Jöchle. Initially moderate, later somewhat steeper, the path winds its way up. Once at the top, we first enjoy the magnificent view. Our gaze stretches far and wide over the Tannheimer Tal on one side or to the Allgäu on the other. Towards the east, passing below the Läuferspitze on the left, we continue to the Raintaler Joch. There we follow the signpost to the left. Initially gently downhill, past the Hahnenkopf and on to the Vilser Scharte. Then uphill towards Kleine Schlicke and over the grassy mountain slope up to the Große Schlicke.
At the summit, our view roams around. The view in all directions is truly impressive. The somewhat modern steel summit cross is also not necessarily expected here at the top.
Then we head back the same way to the Füssener Jöchle and take the gondola back down into the valley. Arriving at the valley station of the Füssener Jöchle cable car, a beautiful mountain hiking day comes to an end.
