Zugspitze via Gatterl

From the parking lot of the Ehrwalder Alm cable car, we follow the path to the Lengenfelder Alm. From there, it is well signposted towards the Knorrhütte. At the Gatterl, we cross the border between Austria and Bavaria. Passing the former customs hut, we go on to the Knorrhütte, where the sunny terrace invites you to rest. From the Knorrhütte, the route leads over the Zugspitzplatt towards Sonnalpin. Here, we can stop again and, in bad weather, acute lack of desire, or physical condition deficits, take the cable car to the summit platform. Those who hike the remaining elevation on foot must work their way up a steep scree slope. Where the scree slope meets the rocks, a secured path begins, leading us to the summit plateau.

For the way down, we choose the Tyrolean Zugspitzbahn and then the bus, which brings us to the train station or back to the parking lot of the Ehrwalder Alm cable car.
