Schartschrofen Summit

The Schartschrofen rises majestically to 1,968 meters above sea level and is a striking rocky peak within the Tannheim Mountains, a subgroup of the Allgäu Alps. It is located northwest of the Rote Flüh and south of the Füssener Jöchl. Two designated hiking trails lead to the Schartschrofen. The normal route starts in the Tannheimer Tal and leads over the Füssener Jöchl, although it is also possible to use the mountain railway in Grän up to here. From there we continue to Hallgernjoch and finally to the summit. The Friedberg via ferrata offers an exciting alternative, which climbs the Schartschrofen via its impressive 150 meter high southeast ridge. This via ferrata is secured throughout with wire ropes and initially leads along the ridge before turning to the southern flank after a crossing and finally leading through a gully to the summit.

Hiking poles and good non-slip footwear absolutely necessary.

Absolute highlight of the hike. Good equipment, shoes and clothing are absolutely essential. Free from fear of heights and safe climbing is a must.
