Roadbook
From the parking lot, first follow the signs towards Laber, directly past the cable car station. A few meters ahead, you reach a junction where you can choose the further path. We chose the path over the Schartenkopf (west ridge) up to Laber, which requires surefootedness. Less experienced hikers choose the other path.
From now on, the route goes over the Schartenkopf trail through a wooded path up towards Laber, until you reach an altitude of 1400 m at a junction where a wide forest road also joins. There is also a small hunting hut here. From here, follow the signage again and continue right-hand towards southwest along the narrow trail. Initially, it only ascends slightly beneath Laber and Schartenkopf. In winter, avalanche danger must absolutely be observed here. In spring, steep crossings over old snowfields may also await, where slipping should be avoided. Towards the end of the trail, it ascends steeply once again in the final push up to the ridge (approx. 1586 m).
From now on, follow the ridge path, which is partially secured with steel cables, over the Schartenkopf across to the Laber mountain station.
From the station, follow a short section of the normal path down to a junction at about 1556 m. Here you turn right and follow the signs further to Ettaler Manndl. If you wish, you can also start the descent directly back to the parking lot here. Now continue for us with gentle ups and downs along the Mandlweg to the entrance of the path to Ettaler Manndl.
Now, it goes up a (climbing) path to the summit of Ettaler Manndl. This path is rated A/B and thus not particularly difficult. A via ferrata equipment is not strictly necessary here; however, if you feel uncertain, you can still use a full set of equipment. The descent is done on the same path.
Once back at the entrance, head northeast towards Oberammergau. From here, it goes downhill on an easy path past the Soilasee (1420 m) and the managed Soila Alm (1330 m). From here, the hiking trail partly becomes a wide forest road, and on various options, you can now stroll back to the parking lot of the Laber mountain railway.
Now enjoy watching and hiking along.
