Description

A hike for the whole family, you can reach the Usseralpe on the well-maintained road or on the somewhat difficult hiking trail. A wonderful mountain world is waiting for you...

Directions

The district of Schmieden south of Tannheim (in the direction of Vilsalpsee) is the starting point of the hike. Following the signposting, the path goes slightly uphill in south-eastern direction. After the first serpentine road, before the bridge and the waterfall, the path branches off to the right. Over the cattle pasture, later through the forest, the path goes steeply uphill. The last section to the Usseralpe runs along the forest road. The alp, situated in a scenic basin, can also be used as a starting point for further hikes. The somewhat longer, but flatter forest road is the way back. The view over Tannheim and the Urfall (waterfall) are further optical highlights of the hike.

Equipment

The personal mountaineering equipment must be safe and serviceable and meet the relevant technical standards. Every hiker is recommended to obtain information about the planned tours from specialist alpine literature or on site.

Safety instructions

It should be noted that in mountaineering there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Tour preparation through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and further education as well as personal prudence reduces the danger of accidents and risks. However, please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
