Requirements

The tour is moderately difficult and requires a good basic level of fitness and surefootedness. You hike on very well-maintained hiking trails, forest roads and paths. There are no climbing passages or very exposed sections. On the Achenkirch-Fügen stage, a head for heights is an advantage for the somewhat narrower climb along the lake. However, if in doubt, the climb can also be avoided or bypassed. If you are not fit or the weather is not playing ball, it is usually possible to travel to the next stage location by public transport or cab.
