Tourbeschreibung

Parking

Paid parking spaces are located at the valley station of the Lünerseebahn in Brand.

Directions

The first altitude meters are covered with the Lünerseebahn. Once you reach the Lünersee, follow the right lakeside on the wide shore path until you reach the signpost indicating the Totalphütte. From there it goes upwards. After about a good hour, you reach the first stage goal, the well-frequented Totalphütte.

The view from the Totalphütte is already very impressive. Those who want can take a break here. But only half is done. From the hut it continues upwards on rocky terrain, past the Totalpsee and Customs House to the Schesaplanasattel. You have almost made it. From the Schesaplanasattel, it's only 55 altitude meters to the summit of the Schesaplana. Shortly after, you reach the summit cross. You have more than earned a break. The view rewards you for your efforts uphill. The return is on the same path.

Alpine mountain path – may include safety cables and aids for footholds

Equipment

Good, ankle-high mountain boots with a good grip, hiking backpack including food and drinks as well as sun and rain protection, hiking poles recommended

Tips

With the help of the Lünerseebahn, the ascent can be shortened by about an hour. Those who want to cover the 400 altitude meters to the Lünersee on foot must overcome the Böser Tritt, a partially secured trail.
