-

Challenging packrafting adventure through the Bavarian Alps. 136 km hiking and 80 km paddling in 8 stages. On whitewater gems, clear lakes, and scenic hiking trails.
Packrafting combines two great sports: hiking and paddling. The "Bavarian Alps" Packraft Trail can be completed in about 12 days in full, or as a micro-adventure in sections. If one or the other paddling section is still too difficult, you can start with easier routes first and return to the more challenging ones later.
The start and end points of the stages are always close to public transport, so you can skip stages anytime.
The Packraft Trail can be hiked and paddled between May and September depending on snow conditions and river levels. The whitewater paddling difficulties on the tour range from grade one to four.
Author’s recommendation
If the river levels are not suitable and paddling is not possible, it is still a good opportunity to hike and scout along the river.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
The Bavarian Alps Packraft Trail can be started and ended at various points. It passes many train stations and bus stops that allow easy connection of stages. Thus, travel by public transport is very well possible and recommended.
Following the water flow, the tour first leads on easy whitewater from Garmisch-Partenkirchen through the Loisach Valley into the Ammergau Alps. From the Ammer Valley, the path stretches to Murnau to the Staffelsee. The middle of the tour is characterized by the beautiful alpine lakes Kochelsee and Walchensee.
In the last third of the tour, the Hinterautal awaits as one of the hiking highlights. The hike through the Hinterautal leads to the source of the Isar and then down the young Isar through an impressive gorge. The final stage culminates as a hike in the spectacular Partnach Gorge.
