The rocky peak of the Kofel rises prominently high above Oberammergau into the sky. The summit cross can be seen from below and motivates you to take a promising half-day tour with a stop. The round tour begins at the valley station of the Kolbensesselbahn. From there you first walk…

View of Graswang Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Either the point is wrong or the vegetation was really thick today. Yes, you can see through the trees, but there are better vantage points.

Kofel summit cross

Highlight • Summit

The climb was worth it. Great view. The last few meters of the climb are secured with ropes... but it's doable.

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.

Very nice tour with a summer toboggan run at the end. Part of the descent can therefore be saved. 😊 Contains an easy, very beautiful via ferrata to the summit. But this can also be left out.

This is my third time at the Kofel, so no gate description. If you're interested, just read one of the previous ones.

The tour is very nice, but also very steep in parts, especially the part up to the tooth has it all. Here the snowshoes helped, the rest went with Grödel. The tour should also be great on hot summer days because it goes through forests a lot. Again Komoot and I disagreed on when to stop the recording, so again in 2 parts 🤪

Unfortunately, this year's crossing of the Alps has been canceled due to the lack of participants 😢 Therefore the Ammergau Alps had to step in again at short notice! Also good! 🥾⛰🧗🏻‍♂️
