Hiking routes in the Allgäu Alps offer scenic mountain views

The Allgäu region offers several demanding hiking routes suitable for experienced mountaineers with proper equipment and a lack of vertigo.

One route begins in Unterjoch and leads to the Sorgschrofen and Zinken peaks. The path involves steep sections, rocky terrain, and some areas secured with ropes. The Sorgschrofen summit sits at 1,636 meters, followed by a 20-minute trek across the ridge to the Zinken peak.

Another route starts at the Riedbergpass in Oberallgäu, heading toward the Besler, Beslergrat, and Beslerkopf. This trek features narrow paths, forest sections, and steep rock faces. Hikers can choose between a direct, more challenging route or a longer, less exposed alternative. The Besler summit reaches an elevation of 1,679 meters.
