A tough climb, not suitable for everyone. But you will be rewarded for it. The beautiful mountain lake offers a wonderful view before you set off on the last stretch to the Landsberger Hut.

September 21, 2024,18km Rundtour 4 Seen von Vilsalpsee zum Schrecksee

Challenging circular tour in the Tannheimer Valley: A breathtaking hike

Before you set off on this challenging 18km circular tour, you should already be in good hiking shape and have some experience with hiking tours. The tour is not suitable for beginners, as it doubles the walking time in snow and extends it by 1-2 hours in bad weather.

This really great hike is a true "cult hiking tour" that you can do in the Allgäu Alps.
The 18 km long tour through the Allgäu and the Tannheimer Valley leads past four beautiful lakes:
The Vilsalpsee, the Schrecksee, the Lache and the Traualpsee.

The tour starts counterclockwise from the Vilsalpsee car park on the western shore of the lake. The footpath takes you slightly up and down in a southerly direction to the Vilsalpe. The ascent on path 424 to the rear sheep tub begins right at the alp. The path leads steeply up a slope in a slight zigzag, crossing a stream …

Very nice round, scenically easy to enjoy up to the Schrecksee. Then very long to the Traualpsee and finally the violent descent, quite exhausting.

Personally, I would walk back the same route from Schrecksee.

Very nice hike with gigantic views, a few rope-secured sections where you have to be careful when wet, as the stones are quite slippery

The tour of tours in the Tannheimer Valley, which many other hikers also thought due to the bridge day when the hiking weather was once again great. The ascent takes place at the end of the Vilsalpsee. At first it's a relatively easy climb and gets steeper over time. Once you reach the top you get your first view of …

Beautiful tour in the Tannheimer Mountains. This time with my nephew. We set off at 8 a.m. from Lake Vilsalpsee towards Lake Schrecksee. Shortly after the start of the climb, the sun came out 🥴 It immediately became warm. Great, especially now. Once we reached the top, it was a bit shady and a bit windy. Another great view from …

Today we did a big panoramic tour in the Tannheimer Valley. Fantastic weather at the end of October, what more could you want? But even with the new cell phone the times are not right. We needed a little over 7 hours for the tour and enjoyed the autumn sun.
