This demanding high-alpine circular tour combines some of the most impressive landscapes of the Rieserferner mountain group. Via the Jägerscharte, we reach the distinctive summit of Almerhorn (2,985 m), enjoy wide panoramic views, and continue the route via the Barmer Hut (2,610 m) and the Riepenscharte (2,732 m) down to Lake Antholz (1,640 m).
The route leads through varied terrain – from alpine meadows to scree slopes and rocky sections – offering impressive views of the surrounding 3,000-metre peaks and the glaciers of the Rieserferner group.
Refreshment stops are available at Staller Saddle, the Barmer Hut and at Lake Antholz.
Shuttle option
A particularly convenient option is to use the 2 Lakes Shuttle:
you can start at Lake Antholz and take the shuttle up to Staller Saddle, or begin at Staller Saddle and finish the tour with a descent to the lake. This option is ideal for planning the route as a traverse and saving elevation gain on the ascent.
Note
This tour is intended for experienced mountain hikers with sure-footedness, a head for heights and good physical condition.
