Feu­er und Eis Self-Gui­ded Tour

Upper Bava­ria’s lakes and sum­mit trails with lug­ga­ge transfer

from 998 per person

This jour­ney takes you right into the heart of Upper Bavaria’s pic­tu­re-per­fect land­scape. Crys­tal-clear lakes, bloo­ming alpi­ne mea­dows, peaks offe­ring breath­ta­king views, and the sound of cow­bells accom­pa­ny you every step of the way. At the moun­tain huts, hear­ty snack plat­ters and a cold beer await you—along with a view that is sim­ply enchan­ting. Your adven­ture beg­ins in the Isar­win­kel, whe­re the last wild river still roars unta­med. You’ll hike along magni­fi­cent trails on to Lake Tegern­see. At the Rie­der­stein, whe­re a small cha­pel per­ches bold­ly atop a free­stan­ding rock, the view opens up over the vast valley—a moment you’ll never for­get. Even from a distance, the Wen­del­stein near Bay­risch­zell greets you. Once you reach the top, you’ll be reward­ed with a breath­ta­king 360-degree pan­ora­ma. On hot days, the lakes—Spitzingsee, Schlier­see, and Soinsee—offer refres­hing respi­te; each is a natu­ral gem with its own uni­que atmo­sphe­re. Some­ti­mes mys­ti­cal­ly still, some­ti­mes vibrant­ly spar­k­ling. Look for­ward to a hiking trip full of con­trasts, balan­cing acti­vi­ty and enjoy­ment, tran­qui­li­ty and won­der. And take a pie­ce of Bava­ri­an idyll home with you as a las­ting memory.
