From the valley station of the Kolbensesselbahn in Oberammergau it goes comfortably up to the Pürschling. Part of the ascent and descent can be saved with the chairlift or the Alpine Coaster. Refreshments in the Kolbenalm, Kolbensattelhütte or the August-Schuster-Haus.

Author’s recommendation

Tired hikers take the Alpine Coaster from the Kolbensattelhütte down to the valley.
