Details

Beschreibung

This route requires sure-footedness and a head for heights! The route starts at Alp Trida Pass heading towards Viderjoch. From there you have a wonderful view of the neighboring village Samnaun, Nauders, Lake Reschen, and the surrounding Ötztal Alps. From there, the hiking trail leads left past Flimspitz. Through rocky terrain you reach Flimjoch. Towards Bürkelkopf the path leads from Flimjoch over an alpine route. At the top, a magnificent panorama opens up with Paznaun, the Silvretta, and Samnaun groups. After resting at the summit, the route heads towards Vesulscharte and crosses a small remnant glacier, partly steep downhill, before another approx. 50 meters ascent to Bürkelscharte has to be completed. The descent over loose scree to the lakes is steep, then it goes comfortably back to the mountain station of the double-decker cable car.
