Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
The descent back to the valley is via the uphill route of the ski tour educational trail (signposted). Please be sure to descend alongside the uphill route for the ski tourers at all times so as not to destroy the trail.
It is about a 30-minute hike from the valley station of the Kolbensesselbahn ski lift back to your starting point at the hikers' car park at the Schleifmühl Gorge in Unterammergau. You can also take the bus, which departs from the station in Oberammergau nearby.
Never get lost again. We recommend our free app "Ammergau Alp tour planner", which includes all tours in the region.
