October 11, 2023,Wanderung 🥾 Lünerseebahn Talstation - Böser Tritt- Lünersee- Totalphütte- Schesaplana- und zurück bis zur Douglashütte👍🥾

Dream day 💚 🌞🌞 today for my hike to the Schesaplana👍
I started at the Lünerseebahn valley station along the “Besser Tritt” up to Lünersee 💚.
Beautiful lake with a fantastic mountain panorama, I would have preferred to stay 🤣
Nothing there, we continue up to the Totalphütte (already closed).
After a short rest, we go over scree, rocks, etc.🙈 …

Wow, what an adventure! 🤩
It takes almost seven hours from the valley station of the Lünerseebahn up to the summit of the Schesaplana and back again.

The first 400 meters of altitude are over the "Bösen Tritt" 😈 up to the Lünersee. You could also take the cable car for this part, but no 🙂
Full of power and …

From the Douglass Hut, there was a steady 90-minute hike in the morning to the Totalp Hut. There, we switched to light packs and, after a hearty meal, began the ascent to the Schesaplana, right on the Austrian-Swiss border. Shortly before the summit, the successful completion of the endeavor was briefly in doubt: within minutes, thick fog rolled in. Fortunately, …

great hike to one of the highest peaks in Vorarlberg. Not necessarily difficult...but needs grains...

In preparation for the summer hike, I did the tour again. The Lünersee is almost empty due to maintenance work. But the scenery is still beautiful.

It was one of the hardest climbs so far. When we got to the top, it was really cold and very slippery. Unfortunately, it had rained beforehand, and it was often slippery and muddy. Snow accompanied us for the last 180 meters.

The conditions from the Totalp Hut were not ideal for an ascent today. It was deep winter with fresh snow, thick fog and freezing cold snowstorms. A little way above the last turnoff towards the Mannheimer Hut it was finally over.
