Please be careful here! If there has been previous rain, the ascent and descent on the east side is extremely slippery and very muddy. It's best to take sticks with you 😊 Or descend via the west side.

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.

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 …

February 10, 2024,🥾Winterliche Wanderung auf den Staffel⛰️

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 …

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.

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 …

March 17, 2024,Sound of Silence- Auf den Staffel- Winterwanderung

So I can't recommend this tour to anyone who wants absolute peace and quiet. I have rarely experienced such silence on a hike. My own footsteps were almost too loud for me, so I enjoyed listening to nature and the awakening of feelings. 🥰🤗 It's best to climb via the west side, the east climb is very slippery and full …

May 27, 2023,Staffel aus der Jachenau

Finally a hike in the foothills of the Alps in good weather and without snow🙂. And the Staffel with its 360° panorama is always worth a hike.
