Route: Parking lot Puitbach/Ahrn (P13) – Puittal – Scharnitzjoch – Erinnerungshütte – Gehrenspitze – Wangalm – Wettersteinhütte – Parking lot Puitbach/Ahrn (P13) 

Very long hike that requires good physical condition.

Parking and public transport:

P13 "Puitbach/Ahrn parking lot".

By train to Seefeld train station and continue with the Regiobus to the stop "Leutasch Puitbach".

You can find all connections in real time with the Mobility-App "wegfinder".

Directions:

The starting point for the hike to the Gehrenspitze is the Puitbach/Ahrn parking lot (P13) in Leutasch (fee required).

Under the high towers of the Öfelekopf, the Leutascher Dreitorspitze and the walls of the Gehrenspitze, you climb further and further up through the lush green valley. The flora and fauna with countless mountain herbs is also unique. With a little luck, you will encounter chamois or marmots that call the Puittal their home.
