    A romantic winter hike through an enchanting landscape!

    Start your hike at the starting point at the Rüfiplatz in Lech. Take the blue local bus towards Zug. Get off at the church in Zug. Alternatively, you can hike directly in Lech along the Lech river to Zug. The well-prepared winter hiking trail leads you directly to the Gasthaus Älpele. Here you can stop for refreshments and, after a well-earned break, return to Zug to the bus stop or to Lech.

    The Gasthof Älpele lies idyllically on a wide plain and awakens your senses with floor-standing food. Open also in the evening on request, then you can also choose transport with the "old Sweden". A great thing -:-).
