    Hiking

    The Sonnenberggrat leads from Pürschling to above the Kolbensattel. The route runs alternately facing south to Ammertal or to Unterammergau and Oberammergau in the north. The tour has multiple exposed, not easy to pass passages with steeply sloping terrain and should therefore only be committed by experienced and vertigo-free people.

    The achievable views during the ascent, however, are breathtaking and compensate for the efforts taken, especially in clear weather. It takes about 1.5 hours to walk on the ridge.

    Hiking

    Please note: The trail is extremely dangerous and prone to falls, especially when there is snow on the north-facing slope.

    Even in spring and autumn, icy sections can occur at any time due to the shady location.

    There is a risk to life. Fatal falls have occurred here in the past.

    Reassess your abilities and equipment for all weather conditions!

    Hiking

    Highly recommended ridge that, as an experienced hiker, you should definitely take instead of going up the wide forest path to the Pürschlingalm.
