Tour description

From Brand Innertal, the trail leads on the left side of the Alvier into the valley in the direction of Schattenlagant, past the Kesselfall to the "Gletscherbachbrücke/Mottakopf" junction. Here the trail branches off to the right. After a short stretch, you cross the Schattenlagant road and reach the Gletscherbachbrücke bridge. From here, the mountain tour leads in several serpentines up to the Obere Sonnenlagant Alpe. For experienced hikers, the trail continues from here with white-blue-white markings up to the summit of the Mottakopf. At the top, in good weather, you can enjoy a fabulous view of the surrounding mountains of the Rätikon. The trail leads back along the same route or, in the last section at the Kesselfall, you can cross the stream and descend towards the Brand Innertal valley. Attention: This tour is not recommended in wet conditions!
