A highlight – in the truest sense of the word: the legendary Alpspitz Ferrata. Unforgettable views and holiday memories abound at 2,628 metres above sea level, atop this jewel of the Werdenfelser Land region: a view of the picturesque Loisachtal valley or down into the Höllental valley where the Zugspitze seems right within reach. That’s when you’ll fall hopelessly in love with the breathtaking beauty of this unique mountain scenery.
Equally as impressive: the Jubilee Arête for experienced alpinists.

And one thing’s for sure: There will be a lot of sweating – because the Jubiläumsgrat poses a challenge even for mountaineers with great physical fitness and lots of alpine experience!
