Eagle Walk Stage 22: Memminger Hütte - Ansbacher Hütte

Gullies resemble large ditches, small valleys or narrow chasms, carved into the rock by the cascading waters of thundering creeks and brooks. On this walk you will encounter lots of them, along with notches, crests, ridges, steep flanks and scree slopes that will keep your pace in check. The rewards are great - outstanding views, clean air and relatively few people to share the trail with - but be prepared to work for every view you get. Make your way down into the Parseiertal Valley on steep and exposed tussock slopes, before climbing up to Langkar cirque and the Grießlscharte ridge. Beyond Winterjöchl col, the trail passes behind Stierkopf mountain and resumes its climb up Kopfscharte ridge across rugged terrain. From the ridge, head south towards Ansbacher Hütte on wide open tussock slopes, drinking fine views and savouring precious alpine moments on your way.
