LEHN -> Path towards Stabelealm -> STABELEALM

From the parking lot in Lehn (near the via ferrata entrance), the mountain path steadily climbs in the direction of Stabelealm. Along the path, you cross or see the Lehner Waterfall. The way continuously ascends past the tree line up to Stabelealm at 1908 m.

There is a second option to reach Stabelealm via a broad but longer forest road starting in Unterried. First, follow the signs towards Wurzbergalm, then the winding path to Leckalm. From there, the forest road gently descends until you reach Stabelealm. (Duration: approx. 4 hours)
