Jour­ney to Gar­misch- Partenkirchen
Distanz: 16 km Höhe (+): 300m Höhe (-): 600m
Ascent with the gon­do­la lift to Eck­bau­er (1,250 m). Hike past Elmau Cast­le to the beau­tiful­ly situa­ted Lau­t­er­see lake and on to Mit­ten­wald. Bus trans­fer to Axams. 
Axams — Stubatail
Distanz: 14 km Höhe (+): 600m Höhe (-): 1200m
An impres­si­ve stage leads through the quiet area of the Kalk­kö­gel over the Halsl crossing into the Stu­bai­tal with magni­fi­cent views of the sur­roun­ding mountains.
Stu­bai Val­ley — Maria Wald­rast Monas­tery — Wipp Valley
Distanz: 15 km Höhe (+): 830m Höhe (-): 1230m
In the mor­ning, take the Ser­les­bahn cable car back to the Stu­bai Alps. Past the Wald­ras­ter Jöchl, hike in the direc­tion of the Maria Wald­rast monas­tery inn. At the foot of the Ser­les sum­mit (2,718 m) lies the pil­grimage site and monas­tery inn Maria Wald­rast (1,641 m). Men­tio­ned as ear­ly as 1400, it is still the desti­na­ti­on of many pil­grims today. You then hike uphill past the Bla­ser­hüt­te hut towards the sum­mit cross befo­re begin­ning the des­cent to Trins in the Gschnitz­tal valley. 
Wipp­tal — Obernbergtal
Distanz: 16 km Höhe (+): 1050m Höhe (-): 850m
Hike from one val­ley to the next via the Egger­joch to the Licht­see lake, a well-known place of power in the Alps. A popu­lar excur­si­on desti­na­ti­on, the lake lies in a wide hol­low to the east of the Truna­joch at an alti­tu­de of 2,101 m abo­ve sea level. The point offers magni­fi­cent views to the south, to the Tri­bu­lau­nas and espe­ci­al­ly to the Olpe­rer. Des­cend into the idyl­lic Obern­berg­tal valley. 
Obern­berg­tal Pferschtal
Distanz: 16 km Höhe (+): 780m Höhe (-): 1100m
In the midd­le of the Tri­bu­lau­ne natu­re reser­ve lies Lake Obern­berg, a breath­ta­king natu­ral monu­ment that reflects the beau­ty of its sur­roun­dings. As in times gone by, the bor­der is crossed on old smugg­lers’ paths over the Sand­joch into the Ita­li­an Pflersch Valley. 
Pflersch Val­ley Vipiteno
Distanz: 10 km Höhe (+): 470m Höhe (-): 300m
From the Lad­ur­ner­hüt­te high abo­ve the Pflersch­tal val­ley, the Dolo­mieu­weg, also known as the 6‑Almenweg, awaits. The hike leads past rustic Alpi­ne pas­tu­res to the Val­min­g­alm, a char­ming Alpi­ne vil­la­ge in the quiet Val­ming­tal val­ley. After a while, the desti­na­ti­on of Ster­zing is cle­ar­ly in sight — just a few more steps and you’­ve rea­ched it! 
Ster­zing ‑Gar­misch-Par­ten­kir­chen
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Enjoy ano­ther won­derful break­fast at the hotel befo­re set­ting off on your return jour­ney to the start­ing point of your hiking tour in Gar­misch-Par­ten­kir­chen. You will defi­ni­te­ly not for­get the last few days, not least becau­se of your cer­ti­fi­ca­te for crossing the Alps in Gar­misch, but also count­less memo­ries of idyl­lic hikes, magi­cal views and impo­sing peaks. Con­gra­tu­la­ti­ons, you have made it!

Tour cha­rac­ter
This mul­ti-day alpi­ne hike is clas­si­fied as a dif­fi­cult long-distance hike and is aimed at hikers with good basic fit­ness, sure­foo­ted­ness and some moun­tain expe­ri­ence. The stages requi­re seve­ral hours of wal­king time and some­ti­mes lead over lon­ger distances with noti­ceable ascents and des­cents. The hike is main­ly on well-main­tai­ned hiking trails, alpi­ne and forest paths as well as clim­bs. Indi­vi­du­al sec­tions can be nar­rower, but remain tech­ni­cal­ly easy. The­re are no clim­bing sec­tions or hea­vi­ly expo­sed pas­sa­ges. Depen­ding on the wea­ther, scree, slip­pery sec­tions or old snow can occur at hig­her alti­tu­des, so a sure foo­ting is essen­ti­al. The rou­te com­bi­nes a varie­ty of land­scapes: pan­o­r­amic high-alti­tu­de trails, quiet pro­tec­ted are­as, high alpi­ne crossings, lakes and his­to­ric crossings bet­ween the valleys. 
Mee­ting point
On the first day of your hike, you will be gree­ted per­so­nal­ly at the Eck­bau­erlift. Your suit­ca­ses will also be drop­ped off there.
