Crossing Hochplatte - Mountain tours Ammergau Alps

Crossing the high plateau is an exciting balancing act with easy climbing passages. The rocky summit and the views promise ambitious hikers an alpine atmosphere. From the parking lot at the Ammerwaldalm you first walk through the Roggental, always along the stream. You already make up a few meters in altitude and walk straight to the plateau.

Where you can’t go straight ahead, turn left. Now the terrain is getting steeper and stony. This will take you to the saddle between Hochplatte and Hochblasse, from which you have an impressive view of the Lechtal and Allgäu Alps. Immediately afterwards you will reach the next saddle. This marks the lowest point between the crow and your target peak. Here is the window, a stone hole through which you can look like a frame.

Now you walk the exciting ridge to the summit, which is secured with ropes in some places. Surefootedness and a head for heights are required here. So better stand still if you want to enjoy the view over the Ammergau to the Forggensee. This remains with you along the entire ridge, so it can also be the backdrop for your snack at the summit cross. Or would you prefer to look at the Zugspitze while you take a break?

From the highest point you keep on the ridge and descend again. The path takes you over the Weitalpjoch back to the Roggentalbach, whose course you follow to the starting point.
