    The day tour leads from Zürs to Lake Zürsersee and on to the Untere Wildgrubenspitze, the highest peak in the Lechquell mountains. We return to Zürs.

    At the large car park at the south end of Zürs, a wide gravel road leads the signposted path towards Lake Zürsersee. After about two hours you reach Lake Zürsersee. Along the shore side to the Grätligrube until you reach snowfields via a more oily path. This is where the start of the climb begins. Some of the trail is secured with steel ropes, there are climbing passages to master and ladders to support the climb. The rocky climb leads over rock steps and gullies to the summit. Descend towards the Muggengratbahn mountain station and follow the Zürser Täli.  The descent is steep over scree and meadows until you reach the parking lot in Zürs again.

    Enjoy the silence of the magical Zürsersee lake.

  • Directions

    The hike to the highest peak in the Lechquell mountains begins at the large car park at the southern end of Zürs. A wide gravel road leads to the right after the car park in the direction of the Zürsersee. After about two hours you reach Lake Zürsersee. Along the shore side the path leads to the Grätligrube pit until you reach snowfields via a more rolling path. This is where the start of the climb begins. The trail is partly secured with steel ropes, ladders provide support during climbing passages. The rocky climb continues over rock steps and gullies to the summit. The descent leads towards the Muggengratbahn mountain station and follows the Zürser Täli.  The descent is steep over scree and meadows until you reach the parking lot in Zürs again. A head for heights and sure-footedness are absolute prerequisites for this tour.
