    Ich bin diese kurze, knackige Tour am 3.9.23 bei herrlichem, aber ein wenig dunstigem Wetter gegangen. Dennoch war die Aussicht in alle Himmelsrichtungen grandios. Achtung: auch bei trockenen Verhältnissen ist der Abstieg vom westl. Hochgerachgipfel in Richtung Älpele auf dem Grat nicht zu unterschätzen. Er verlangt ständige Konzentration, gute Trittsicherheit und an manchen Stellen auch Schwindelfreiheit. Wenn dem nicht so ist, kann der Abstieg etwas einfacher südlich umgangen werden.

    Eine absolut beeindruckende wunderschöne Tour, die durchgehend am Walserkammgrat entlang führt und an einigen Stellen absolute Trittsicherheit erfordert. Sicher mit das schönste was Vorarlbergs Alpen zu bieten haben. Zur hier beschriebenen Route: Als Startpunkt bietet sich eher Dünser Älpele an, hierhin auch mit dem Landbus (75a) möglich. Das GPS verläuft anfangs etwas verwirrend und weglos durch den Wald hinauf zum Gerachhaus. 6:00h sind eine ausgesprochen sportliche Zeit; wir haben inkl. Pausen 8:00h benötigt (ohne den Abstecher zur Kreuzspitze)

    Tolle Tour. Wichtig: - Trittsicherheit - Schwindelfreiheit - ein wenig "kraxeln" sollte man schon mögen - Ausdauer Weg führt immer am Kamm entlang. Ab der Löffelspitze ist der Weg jedoch in sehr schlechtem bzw. fast schon nicht mehr begehbaren Zustand. Alternative: Richtung Sentum Alpe oder Richtung Furka.
