  • Höhenprofil

    The lower part of the hike to Wöster is ideal as an evening hike or a short exploratory tour. After the Tälialpe the path becomes narrow and steep, ideal for speedhikers.

    Sometimes even the smaller tours are enough to enjoy a wonderful view. The tour up to the Wöstersattel is perfect for speedhikers and trail runners as a strenuous training tour or for hikers as an evening or introductory tour. The tour can of course be extended from the Wöstersattel:

    A stop at the Zitlo after the tour is highly recommended.

  • Directions

    From Stubenbach we follow the signs in the direction of Wöster / Rüfikopf. Past the barbecue area we go to the ski run of the legendary Long Train, which we see after about 30 minutes. The Tälialpe comes into our field of vision, we turn left before the Alpe and follow the narrowing path to the top. The narrow path winds steeper and steeper over grass slopes until we finally reach the small cross that marks the Wöstersattel. From here we can either descend again or continue in the direction of Rüfikopf and Wöster.
