    This slightly longer and difficult hike should be started early in the morning and only in good weather conditions.

    From the Wanderstarplatz Rüfiplatz, take the bus in the direction of Zug. From Zug, take an asphalted toll road to the Gasthaus Älpele. A branching forest path leads steeply uphill to the Upper Elm. From here the path becomes narrower and steeper and leads in serpentines up to Laubegg. Over the ridge we continue uphill to the Göppinger hut for a culinary stop.

    Special features: A wildly romantic alpine path through a very beautiful landscape. Sights: Climbing park Göppinger hut – just behind the hut there is a natural climbing park for sports climbers with around 10 different routes. Refreshment stops: Gasthaus Älpele, Göppinger Hütte and restaurants in Zug and Lech am Arlberg.

    Eine Wanderkarte zur Region erhalten Sie bei Lech Zürs Tourismus um € 7,00.
