Eagle Walk Stage 23: Ansbacher Hütte - Kaiserjochhaus

Starting at a little under 2,400 metres in elevation and never dropping below 1,700 metres, this stage along the airy ridges of the Lechtal Alps will provide miles of dramatic views. After passing over the Flarschjoch ridge, the Knappenböden area and the Alperschonjoch ridge, hikers tackle the steep, rough and technical Haas-Weg trail or can opt for an easier alternative. The final push to the Kaiserjochhaus, taking you up to an elevation of 2,310 metres, is another exposed scramble with a fixed anchoring system of cables. But all that hard work is worth it. At the end of the day, the Kaiserjochhaus lodge extends a warm welcome and a sincere invite to call it a day.
