Route description

  1. From Zürs take the Seekopfbahn chairlift up to the Seekopf restaurant (2,200 m) overlooking the Zürsersee.
  2. Walk around the lake (2,160 m). The jetty that juts into the water is a good place to rest.
  3. Beyond the lake continue on the path towards Lech to the remote Madlochalpe, where the path turns off to Zürs. Above the Schröflialpe there is a lovely view of Zürs.
  4. Cross a bridge to the heating plant in Zürs and from there follow meadows and narrow paths along the Zürsbach almost to Lech. Above the Lech heating plant the path leads into the Omesberg district. 9.6 km and 3:24 h in total.

Good to know
