Kolbensattel Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The hike over the Kolbensattelhütte on the Steckenberg is not recommended. Partly VERY steep ascent, barely visible paths and mud make the ascent difficult. The ascent from Unterammergau is nicer.

Kofelsteig Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Kofelsteig leads through beautiful forest to the Kolbensattelhütte and the mountain station of the Kolben chairlift as well as the famous Alpine Coaster Oberammergau.

Langtalalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A young family has been running the alpine pasture since summer 2022. With homemade snacks, they give the small, rustic and rarely visited alpine pasture its own charm. The Alps in their purest form.

July 3, 2022,Kolbensattel - Josefskapelle - Alpinecoaster

With the chairlift to the Kolbensattel. A nice round over the Josefskapelle and the little-visited but extremely beautiful Langtalalm back to the mountain station and then rushed almost 3 kilometers through the mountains into the valley with the Alpine Coaster ... an unforgettable Sunday afternoon in the Alps.

Today we took the Kolbensattel chairlift up the mountain for a short final tour ⛰️ On pleasant paths we enjoyed the view and identified the mountain flowers once again.🌻🌺🌼 Afterwards we had a snack🥖🧀🍺 at the highly recommended Kolbensattelhütte.
