Tuftl Alm (1,496 m): On the way along unique paths
The Tuftl Alm, also known as the Lermooser Alm, lies majestically above Lermoos.

The alp offers a selection of traditional dishes and dairy products produced directly on site. Surrounded by idyllic Lermooser Moos and the imposing Lechtal Alps, you can enjoy breathtaking views. From the cozy hut, you can let your gaze hike over the Zugspitze, the Mieminger mountains and the Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze. You can also reach the viewing platform in just a few minutes on foot. From there, you can also look down on the Lermoos region. Pack your hiking boots and plan some time for this mountain tour. Because the fascinating mountain landscape on the Tuftl Alm invites you to explore!
Up to the Ehrwalder Alm (1,500 m): Experience pure nature
In the middle of the enchanting Tyrolean mountains lies the Ehrwalder Alm, a true paradise for nature lovers. The best way to explore this idyllic region is on the picturesque meadow trail. From the valley station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn cable car, this path takes hikers on a 90-minute walk through a dreamlike landscape of lush meadows and majestic peaks. Along the way, you will pass charming stops such as the Ganghofer Hütte before reaching the cozy Ehrwalder Almhütte. This invites you to linger with regional delicacies. Thanks to the cable car, the Ehrwalder Alm is also suitable for beginners. So nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable excursion into the magical mountain world.
Hike up the Grubigstein (2,233 m): Ascent to a panoramic paradise
Due to its easy accessibility, the Grubigstein is particularly popular with our hotel guests and hikers. To reach the Grubigstein, the following route awaits you: The Grubigstein cable car transports you to the Grubighütte, from where you can reach the summit in around an hour. The path to the summit leads past avalanche fences and is steep, which is why surefootedness is required. Once you reach the summit, however, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view. The impressive panoramic view stretches as far as the Wetterstein mountain range, including a fantastic view of the Zugspitze and Mieminger Kette. You can also let your gaze wander to the ridge of the Gartnerwand and the Blindsee lake. The view of the Gartnerwand ridge and the Blindsee lake is also fascinating. And for good reason: the mountain tour offers magnificent views throughout, especially of the Zugspitze. There are also several places to stop for refreshments along the way. Whether for a break in between or for lunch – the Grubighütte, Wolfsratshauser Hütte and Brettlalm look forward to your visit. After the ascent to the Grubigstein, most of the route is downhill. This allows you to enjoy the view to the full.
Daniel (2,340 m) and Upsspitze (2,332 m): sporty summit hike
If you want to climb to the summit of Daniel, the highest point in the Ammergau Alps at 2,340 meters, you can expect an additional hiking time of around 2 ½ hours from the Tuftl Alm. The path leads steeply uphill along a picturesque little chapel, winds its way up in a few hairpin bends and finally overcomes the scree terrain to lead you into the idyllic high valley of the majestic Upsspitze. Good news for all summiteers: a second mountain can be climbed on a hike to the Daniel with minimal additional time. As a result, the Upsspitze (2,332 m) expands the panorama and provides a fantastic mountain experience. This sporty mountain tour promises impressive views and a varied route through the Ammergau Alps. The way back to Lermoos station is a steep climb, so surefootedness is required.
Conquering the Zugspitze (2,962 m): an adventure from Ehrwald to the summit and back
This challenging mountain tour starts at the valley station of the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn cable car in Ehrwald. From there, the adventurers set off via the Wiener Neustädter Hütte and the challenging “Stopselzieher” via ferrata to the summit of Zugspitze. After around 4 hours of challenging climbing, you finally reach your destination. And are rewarded with a breathtaking backdrop. But the descent is also quite a challenge. It begins with a ride on the glacier cable car to “Sonnalpin”, followed by a longer path down to “Gatterl”. From there, the path leads you along the picturesque south side of the Zugspitze massif, past the idyllic alpine pasture and through charming Ehrwald, back to the starting point.
