Ridge Ascent to Staffel via West Side

Highlight • Trail

Even though most hiking guides say that this is an easy tour where you only need a limited amount of sure-footedness, I do not recommend the climb over the west side without a head for heights and sure-footedness. The roots are very slippery, especially in wet weather. I only recommend the eastern ascent in absolutely dry weather and with poles, as it is super rusty and muddy.

Staffelalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The photo does not show the Staffelalm, even if it is on the way to the Staffel. The Staffelalm is located on the Rabenkopf near Kochel and looks completely different.

Jachenau Valley

Highlight • Natural

The Jachenau is a real sunny valley, a hiking paradise, with almost unlimited opportunities through blooming meadows, shady forests and sunny pastures. One has the impression here, as if time had stopped. Densely wooded mountain slopes, large old farmhouses and small settlements dominate the picture of the valley.

June 9, 2025,Staffellalm - Staffel Gipfelkreuz 1534 m Runde von Jachenau

This scenic mountain hike starts in the idyllic village of Jachenau and leads up to the Staffel summit via varied forest and hiking trails. The trail initially runs through shady mountain forest, later crossing open meadows and alpine pastures with fantastic views of the surrounding peaks.
A stunning panorama awaits you at the top: the Benediktenwand, Walchensee, and Karwendel Mountains …

December 27, 2024,Jachenau - Staffel

Wow, I'm done. I trudged 80 percent of the way through 10 to 20 cm of snow with little or no tracks, and when crossing a stream I sank one of my poles in the water where it was impossible to reach 😤. The climb up the last 250 meters was really exhausting. At the top, there was a sensational …

June 15, 2025,Hitzetour auf den Staffel ⛰️🥵

After a break from hiking due to an injury, I started again and, due to the hot weather, chose a short, mostly shady hike to check my fitness.
I started at 7:30 a.m. to escape the intense heat, so I was able to hike alone.

February 9, 2025,Start in Wandersaison 🥾 auf den Staffel ⛰️

After a much too long break, I laced up my hiking boots 🥾 again today. The trail led me to a classic that can also be tackled in winter, the Staffel ⛰️ in Jachenau.
The encounters with other hikers were limited and mainly restricted to the summit, just the way I like it.
When I reached the summit, I was …

June 14, 2024,Feierabendwanderung auf den Staffel

I used the early evening to go on a tour of the Staffel. I started under cloudy skies, but the sun ☀️ greeted me at the summit. The views of the Silbenstein reservoir and Walchensee and into the Karwendel and across to the Benediktenwand are always a highlight.
Apart from the alpine farmers, I only met two other hikers on …

Beautiful winter tour on the relay. The snow and windfall this winter make this tour exciting right from the start. As I continued to climb I had to cross more and more snow fields. The effort is rewarded with a wonderful view of Lake Silvenstein about 3/4 of the way up and at the summit there were further great views …

TRAILS
Ideal for summer, as most of the trail runs through the forest.
The eastern section is slightly steeper, but easier to walk (note: we missed a turnoff to the trail and therefore took one too many loops of the boring forest path).
The western section is steep in the …

July 30, 2026,Staffel, 1532 m (Bus-Jachenau-Bäcker - Bus-Jachenau-Bäcker)

Today, on a weekday, the train and bus connection to Jachenau worked again, so it was off to a small panoramic mountain in this area. Apart from the beginning, the entire ascent path leads through the forest, often including a rooty trail. Only shortly before the summit does the terrain become more open and there are more views, just before …
