    The barrier-free trails and excursion destinations selected by us also invite families and people with mobility aids to discover: they are mostly paved or well-graveled and mostly easy to navigate with strollers or wheelchairs – for some sections however a helping hand can be advantageous.

    Safety information

    It should be noted that there can be an increased risk of accidents and injuries in mountaineering. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparation through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and further education as well as personal caution 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.

    Tips and suggestions

    Tannheimer Tal Tourist Board

    Usseralpe

    Roadbook

    The district Schmieden, located south of Tannheim (towards Vilsalpsee), is the starting point of the hike. Following the signs, it goes gently uphill towards the southeast. After the first hairpin bend, still before the bridge and the waterfall, the path branches off to the right. Over the pasture, later through the forest, the trail ascends steeply. The last section to Usseralpe runs on the forestry road. The alp, situated in a scenic basin, can also be used as a starting point for further hikes. The slightly longer but flatter forestry road is the return route. The view over Tannheim and the Urfall (waterfall) are additional visual highlights of the hike.
