A uni­que natu­re expe­ri­ence awaits you on our hiking tour along the Lech Trail: on around 125 km, you accom­pa­ny the glis­tening Lech from its source near the For­ma­rin­see lake in Lech am Arl­berg in Aus­tria, through one of the last wild river land­scapes in Euro­pe, to the Lech Falls in Füs­sen in the Bava­ri­an All­gäu. On your way, you will not only dis­co­ver the unta­med and rug­ged beau­ty of the cross-bor­der Alpi­ne regi­ons, you will also hike through one of the lar­gest ibex colo­nies in Euro­pe and mar­vel at a water­fall that magi­cal­ly dries up and springs anew every year. You cross a spec­ta­cu­lar pede­stri­an sus­pen­si­on bridge and admi­re King Lud­wi­g’s cast­les. The magi­cal tur­quoi­se of the Lech river and its thun­de­rous roar are your con­stant companions.

Other notes
To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases. Some tours start as ear­ly as mid­day, in which case we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re and will be hap­py to book an extra night for you at the same time. The indi­vi­du­al return jour­ney takes place on the last day of the tour. The kilo­me­ters are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al kilo­me­ters cover­ed. This tour is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with redu­ced mobility. 
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.

Tra­vel can­cel­la­ti­on insu­rance inclu­ding tra­vel inter­rup­ti­on insu­rance is recom­men­ded in any case. Infor­ma­ti­on can be found at: https://www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/reiseversicherung
7‑day care­free number
No mat­ter how well plan­ned a trip is, in rare cases unex­pec­ted things hap­pen. At such times, it’s nice to have someone you can rely on on site. For this reason, you will have a local cont­act per­son on our indi­vi­du­al acti­vi­ty tours who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as sta­ted in the tra­vel docu­ments, can be cont­ac­ted in an emergency.
