Warth-Schröcken | King’s Tour

Directions

The supreme discipline starts in Schröcken Nesslegg at the “Alpenblick” bus stop. After the Alpenblick house, follow the side road along a path through the Litzetobel to the district of Schmitte. Shortly after the houses, a goods road leads into the forest on the right – follow this mountain path into the district of Wald, where you walk past a farmhouse for a kilometer on the asphalt road down to Schwand. Pass this farmhouse and follow the goods road down to Unterboden. Pass through the settlement, past the chapel to the soccer pitch. Along the soccer pitch, the path leads through the forest to Landsteg, from where a goods road leads up to the Biberacher Hütte. Follow the Nordalpenweg past the Schadonaalpe to the Liethi hut. From there, cross the ridge on a path (keep your altitude!). Watch out for summit luck: if even our supreme discipline is not enough, you can still take the summit to the Rothorn from this trail to the top left (additional – very steep – 325 m) The same path leads from the summit back to the route, where you then pass the “Oberes Seeli” and continue up to the Fürggele. Watch out for summit luck: from here you could take another ascent to the summit of the Hochberg (additional – very steep – 310 m ascent). Follow the same path from the summit back up to Fürggele, then take the hiking trail behind Fürggele back down to just before Alpe Felle, where a path leads off to the right and takes you over a bridge onto a goods road. Follow the goods road up past the “Alpmuseum uf m Tannberg” and on up to Körbersee. Walk past the Körbersee mountain hotel in the direction of the Kalbelesee lake and the Hochtannberg Pass. Via the Salober parking lot you then reach the valley station of the Salober Jet, past which you continue to the valley station of the Kuchelbahn (2-seater chairlift) and on to Hochkrumbach. After the Hotel Jägeralpe, follow the “Alte Salzstraße” hiking trail until you cross the Hämmabach stream in Wolfegg and arrive at the Hotel Steffisalp. Walk 500 meters along the road to the Warth church and on to the Warth tourist office. Behind the tourist office, a side road leads uphill, which merges into the path of the village trail. This then turns into a goods road, which you follow briefly upwards under the Steffisalp-Express until a path leads off to the right at a small hut. Cross the Hämmabach stream up past the Punschhütte hut to the mountain station of the Steffisalp Express. Ascent aid: You can alternatively cover these meters in altitude with the Steffisalp-Express! Attention summit luck: with only 50 additional meters of altitude, you can take the summit cross of the Wannenkopf with you! The same path then leads you back to the route. Shortly after the old houses in Bürstegg, turn right onto the hiking trail uphill. Continue to the Auenfeldsattel and at the junction turn right to the Untere Auenfeldalpe. Follow the goods road downwards until a narrow hiking trail on the right leads over a few steps back to Körbersee. This time you walk along the Körbersee up to the Berghotel Körbersee and down to the left along the goods road until a path leads off to the right through the forest at the first bend. Follow the path back to Nesslegg.
