From the Formarinsee lake to Füssen, you will experience spectacular mountain panoramas, blooming meadows and unspoilt villages. The route is suitable for connoisseurs and sports enthusiasts alike and will delight you with its natural beauty. Particularly sustainable: the Lechweg is easily accessible by public transport and the region favours sustainable tourism. A real highlight for nature lovers!

The new circular hiking trail “Mutspuren“ (transl. “Trail of the Brave”) offers guests, and especially families with children, the unmissable opportunity to explore an exciting hiking route starting from the mountain station of the Galzigbahn lift. Hike past small ponds, large alpine lakes, numerous activity stations, energizing rest areas, Morse-code stations, and many more in this stunning setting. The Galzig- and Valluga- lifts run every day of the week and comfortably transport you to the start of this trail.

Summer in the Verwall mountain range offers guests the “Sagenhaftes Verwall” (transl. “Mythical Verwall”) with many wonderful stories to discover along the way, which are always appreciated by guests of all ages. Take some time to rest up in one of the lovely spots along the way and read all about local folklore and myths of this charming region, such as the stories of the “Schnann Draher”, “The Stubenegg Witch”, or “The Treasure on the Arlen”.
