  • Directions

    From the hike starting point in front of the post office, follow the main road downstream towards Warth. Shortly before leaving Lech am Arlberg, turn onto the paved back road that goes uphill towards Oberlech.

     

    Continue past the Berg area going straight ahead, ascend through the forest and then across a mountain pasture until you reach the first houses of Oberlech. After the “Schlössle” bus stop, take the paved bach road right and continue cycling uphill until you reach the view point “Tannegg” incl. barbecue site.

     

    From here, follow the gravel alpine path to the left going uphill past the Grubenalpe. From here, the trail ascends steadily to the Kriegeralpe. After some refreshments here, it is only a short walk uphill to the Speichersee Lake and the stone wall.

     

    Take the gravel road towards the Zugertobel. After passing through it you will get to a paved toll road.

    Follow the paved road past the Gasthof Älpele and the forest camp until you reach the junction. Turn left and continue uphill past the Alpe Dalaaser Staffel until you reach the dam wall of the Spullersee Lake.

     

    Along a gravel road, you go around the lake across the southern dam wall. From here, the path ascends towards the Ravensburger hut. After passing the Ravensburger hut, continue ascending at the Alpe Brazer Staffel until you reach the Stierlochjoch Pass (2,009 m). The path then continues on coarse gravel and with hairpin bends down to the Stierlochalpe. Follow this alpine path downhill towards Zug.

     

    You will reach a paved back road at the fish pond. A short ascent follows, then turn right onto the main road. From here, bike through Zug town centre on the same path back to the starting point.
