Hiking and Trekking in Germany.
Crossing the Alps and climbing the Zugspitze
The alpine region of southern Germany boasts incredible peaks such as the Watzmann and the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain. The Allgäu Alps in the west, the Werdenfelser Land in the center and the region around the Königsee in the southeast offer ideal opportunities for hiking and climbing. Destinations such as Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Oberammergau are on the program, as are classic Alpine crossings. Our flagship trek is the Zugspitz-Gipfeltrekking, which allows you to discover the "Summit of Germany" in four days. Discover our region on trekking tours in Germany with Hauser Exkursionen!
Difficulty rating of proposed hikes and trekking tours.
The rating in 6 levels of difficulty serves as a guide and facilitates the pre-selection of possible travel destinations. The walking and driving times included in the program are crucial to the overall assessment of the trip. Extreme climates (e.g. hot/cold, humidity), long stays at altitude or being out in the wilderness without comfort also influence the level of difficulty.
All times given are walking times only, not including breaks, and gradients are cumulative for both ascent and descent.
Levels of difficulty : I Easy Max. 3 hours' walk and/or max. 400 m ascent. - II - Moderate
Max. 5 hours' walking and/or max. 800 m ascent. III - Moderately difficult
Max. 7 hours' walking and/or max. 1,200 m ascent. IV - Difficult Max. 9 hours' walking and/or max. 1,500 m ascent. V - Very demanding More than 9 hours' walking and/or more than 1,500 m of ascent. VI - Extremely demanding Stages of more than 12 hours per day and/or more than 1,500 m of ascent and descent.
