Demanding, challenging trail through the alpine mountain world of the Kleinwalsertal. 28 kilometers and about 1600 meters of ascent and descent.
Starting in the mountain village of Baad, the Walser Trail initially leads on a wide path into the Bärgunt Valley, past the Bärgunt Hut. Behind the Bärgunt Hut, the uphill becomes steeper and leads in the lower section over root sections through a forest and in the upper part over a varied mountain trail up to the Hochalp Pass. From there, almost at the elevation at the foot of the great Widderstein to the Widderstein Hut and further over the Gemstelkoblat. Then a short downhill to the Mindelheimer Hut and along the Krumbach High Route, continuing in a sequence of short ascents and descents with views of the Allgäu main ridge. The climb to the Fidere Notch, the highest point of this route, is steep again. From there follows a downhill through a scree field to the Fidere Pass Hut. A long downhill continues past the Wannenalp to the Inner Kuhgehrenalp. From there downhill in switchbacks over the Brandalpe into the Hirschegg district Nebenwasser and with a short, steep final ascent to the Walser House in Hirschegg.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Directions
Most routes from Germany converge in Ulm and continue on the A7. At the Allgäu motorway junction, take the section of the A980 to the Waltenhofen exit and then on the four-lane B19 via Sonthofen and Oberstdorf into the Kleinwalsertal. From Austria (Vorarlberg) and Switzerland, you reach the Kleinwalsertal via the Bregenzerwald (Hittisau) – Riedberg Pass – Fischen – Oberstdorf. Coming from Tyrol, the fastest route leads via the A7 to Kempten and then on the B19 toward Oberstdorf. You do not need a motorway vignette for the drive into the valley.Parking
