The route starts in the centre of Lech. Initially, the route takes you along the Flühenweg, which offers stunning views of Lech right from the start. The route then follows the Zürsbach, climbing steadily towards Zürs. This section presents a bit of a physical challenge, but remains easy to run and is particularly scenic. At Wiesele, you reach the highest point of the circuit. From here, the path leads back towards Lech along the hillside, maintaining a steady altitude. The route remains varied and offers beautiful views of the valley time and again. Finally, the route takes you back to the town centre via the Omesberg. The last few metres are pleasant and allow for a gentle cool-down. A varied circuit with panoramic views, moderate climbs and sections close to nature.
