Hiking

The bus takes you from Lech into the Zug Valley to Lake Formarinsee at 1,793 m. From there, you can enjoy a wonderful hike around the lake, around the Formaletsch and through the Steinerne Meer. The tour around the lake takes about 1 hour, one side of which is only accessible to experienced mountaineers. You should plan around 3 hours to go around the lake and Formaletsch.

Here you are on the first stage of the long-distance hiking trail “Lechweg - von der Quelle bis zum Fall”. The entire route covers a distance of 120 kilometers and is perfectly organized for long-distance hikers. The first stage from Lake Formarinsee, where the spring is located, to Lech is 13 kilometers long and you should allow around 5 hours for this route.
