Schesaplana (2 days)

Narrow mountain path from Palüdbahn passing Palüdbach and Glingabrunnen, a row of wells with an underground supply from the Brandner glacier. Path runs on into Zalimtal, passing Obere Brüggele Alpe via switchbacks to the Oberzalim Hütte. Via Leiberweg, sometimes over climbing routes blasted into the rock face, on to Mannheimerhütte via the Brandner glacier (cleared & generally well passable) to Schesaplana. Descend to Totalphütte on a well-used path (caution snowfields in spring!) to Lünersee and on the Böser Tritt (or by Lünerseebahn) to Schattenlaganthütte. On foot or by bus (valley station) back to Brand.
