Eagle Walk Stage 17: Ehrwald - Lorea Hütte

Picturesque alpine lakes, spectacular views, knife-edged mountains, and a dizzying array of wildflowers and wonderful groves – this stage is simply gorgeous and a pure nature experience. In Ehrwald follow Moosweg (literally, ‘Moss Trail‘) to Lermoos. Ride the Grubigstein gondola up to the Gipfelhaus Grubigstein (2,050 m), effortlessly gaining vertical feet. You will find yourself at the heart of the scenic Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. A gentle stroll up and down dwarf pine fields and old-growth forest takes you to the Fern Pass Road. Beautiful Blindsee lake can be seen glinting through the trees. Follow the ancient Via Claudia Augusta, the historic Roman road, to Fernstein Castle on a sunny upland plateau. However, it’s still a long journey to the Lorea Hütte, the shelter that is your destination.
