Three-Lakes-Tour (awarded with the Tyrolean Mountain Path Seal of Quality)

We use the comfortable and beautiful ascent possibility of the 8-person gondola Neunerköpfle and float up the slope. The houses in the valley get smaller and smaller, at the same time more and more peaks come into our field of vision. Starting from the top station, we can start one of them right away: A short, 15-minute walk takes us up to the summit cross of Neunerköpfle, from where we have an impressive panoramic view of the Allgäu Alps, the lowlands and towards the Zugspitze. Finally, we leave the summit on the southern side and enter the Saalfelder Höhenweg (No. 421), a panoramic path along meadow slopes that is easy to walk. In summer the alpine roses and gentian bloom here in bright colours. Sometimes even an edelweiss flashes. We continue to follow the path, on the right below us we first see the Usseralpe, then the Gappenfeldalpe. But we orientate ourselves towards the Schochenspitze. Shortly before the Schochen the ascent becomes steep and stony, narrow serpentines on grass fields lead us finally up. In a quarter of an hour this summit is also reached. We enjoy the view of the blue-green Traualpsee, the Landsberger Hütte and the Vilsalpsee. From the meadows at the Schochenspitze we reach the Landsberger Hütte below the Lachenspitze on a path over scree fields, descend to the Traualpsee and hike further down to the Vilsalpsee. There you can comfortably take the bus or walk towards Tannheim. The bus ends at the beginning of Tannheim, we walk straight ahead on the road, pass a small chapel and arrive in the centre of Tannheim. At the roundabout we keep to the right and see again the valley station of the cable car where we started our hike.
