After a transfer, walk to the beautifully situated Ansbacher Hütte
A shuttle bus will take you to the start of the hike in the Madautal valley (approx. 30 min, included). You walk on a slightly ascending gravel road through the idyllic Alperschonbach to the Alperschonalpe. You hike further up to the alpine pastures of the Knappenböden up to the highest point, the Flarschjoch, at 2464m. Then it's a comfortable 15-minute descent to the beautifully situated Ansbacher Hütte. Spend your first night in the mountains in this simple, rustic hut.

Today you may be walking past a few different areas where cows graze. Although generally very docile and used to walkers, keep your distance and never turn your back on a cow that is behaving strangely or aggressive. Be particularly vigilant around cows with calves.
Always allow plenty of time for your hike. The walking times indicated do not include breaks. Rest and photo breaks must be added to the times indicated.
Check the latest weather information and be on the lookout for changes in the weather. Storms can develop rapidly in the Alps. There may be snow on the passes at the beginning and end of the hiking season, if it is wet the trail can be slippery, please tread with caution.
Do not leave the marked hiking trails.
