Description

Do you want to hike in a beautiful alpine scenery during three days, sleeping in charming mountain huts? You should try this 3-day hiking trip in the Heilbronner Circule Trail of the Allgäu Alps.

The Allgäu Alps are located in Bavaria (Germany) and Tyrol and Vorarlberg (Austria). These mountains shoot up from the foothills so abruptly that the impact is really imposing. They offer a huge and varied terrain for hiking and mountaineering.

The Heilbronner is one of the most popular mountain trails in the Allgäu Alps. Its beautiful ridges has been delighting hikers for generations. You will enjoy enchanting views of the area, with flower-strewn meadows, glittering lakes and majestic rock faces.

This high altitude tour begins hiking up to Einödsbach, an ancient village located at 1,114 m. of altitude, which is the southernmost spot of Germany. The following days we will head up to Heilbronn Tröll, crossing over the peaks of Steinscharten (2,615 m) and Bockkarkopf (2,609 m). Finally, we will descent through the wild Bacherloch back to Einödsbach.

This region has some of the most comfortable alpine huts of the Alps. We will eat excellent local food and sleep warm in Rappensee and the new Waltenberger Haus.

We will walk in partially trackless terrain, soy you need to be at least an intermediate hiker. There are several exposed areas, secured with ropes or chains, where you will need your hands for balance.

So, if you are up for a high altitude hike in the popular Heilbronn Trail, please contact me! I’ll be glad to guide you through the amazing landscapes of the Allgäus Alps!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
