Across Steinernes Meer-Formaletsch to Lake Formarin | Dalaas
During the summer months, the “Formarinsee” hiking bus from Lech takes you as far as the Alpe Formarin bus stop. From Alpe Formarin, the route follows the signposts towards Steinernes Meer in a south-easterly direction. On Steinernes Meer, a craggy karst plateau, you can discover 200-million-years-old evidence of the maritime past of the Alps: fossilised corals, shells, ammonites - you name it. Below the Formaletsch peak, the trails heads westwards to Freiburgerhütte where hearty refreshments await. From Freiburgerhütte, the tour takes you around Lake Formarin on a gravel road and then back to the start at the Alpe Formarin bus stop.
Equipment
