    Safety information

    After heavy rain, the descent to Zug and Lech should not be underestimated.

    Roadbook

    From Lech - Rüfikopf cable car, follow the signs to Kriegeralpe via Oberlech and then continue to the Balmalpen.

    There, descend to Zug and pass by the fish pond to reach Madlochjoch. Now descend to Zürsersee to continue via the access road (gravel road) to Zürs. Here, pass by the church in the direction of Trittalpe. Just below this, go to Monzabonaalpe, which you aim for and then leave behind. Now climb again to Monzabonsee up to the Rüfikopf cable car.

    Once there, choose the path towards Lech, which initially leads over stones and is not immediately obvious by the markings.

    This then leads into the forest and back to Lech, from where you return again to the Rüfikopf cable car.
