    Even in the 4-day version, the Seven Summits lose none of their appeal or challenge. The four stages add up to a 65-kilometer hiking route. A truly dreamlike loop high up in the Bregenzerwald and Arlberg regions, featuring peaks, mountain lakes, stops at mountain huts, and spectacular views.

    The tour starts from the village center in Schröcken. There, follow the local road between the tourist office and the church. At a sharp left curve, turn right and follow the trail along the Bregenzerach toward Auenfeld. Pass the lower Auenfeldalpe and continue toward Lech. At the lower Gaisbühelalpe, turn right, passing under the Auenfeld Jet. Continue toward the Rotschrofen mountain station. At the intersection there, the trail continues to the right toward Juppenspitze. After reaching Juppenspitze, the approach trail leads back down. At the Rotschrofen mountain station, the trail continues to the right. Once you reach the Mohnensattel, take the right-hand path toward Mohnenfluh. After reaching the summit of Mohnenfluh, the trail leads back down the same approach trail. At the Mohnensattel, turn right at the intersection and walk along Lake Butzensee.

    Tip: Lake Butzensee is perfect for a refreshing dip!

    Then continue along the trail, past the Alpe Felle, to Schröcken, your starting point.
