Description:

In order to enable interested hikers to take a journey into the formation history of the mountains, the GEO trail Pfronten-Vils-Grän was established. On the section of the Gräner trail you will learn all sorts of interesting facts under the motto "Rocks shape mountains". An unforgettable experience for hikers - whether big or small.
The GEO trail conveys the impression of the uniqueness and beauty of this landscape and accompanies the hiker on an exciting mountain tour through earth history: from Breitenberg in Pfronten, from Vils or from Füssener Jöchle in Grän.

Directions:

Starting from Grän with the 8-seater gondola lift to Füssener Jöchle, mountain station Sonnenalm, then continuing over the Sebenalm to the Bad Kissinger Hut (overnight accommodation available). From the hut there is the option to reach the summit of Aggenstein. The path there involves easy climbing just below the summit (rope protection available). However, we hike from the hut in the direction of Pfronten. From here it goes down to the mountain station of the Breitenberg cable car. 

Tip:

Look forward to a very informative and beautiful hike
