Coburger Hütte — Seebensee & Drachensee

This is one of the most celebrated hikes in Tyrol, connecting two distinct alpine basins. Starting from the Ehrwalder Alm, a broad forest path leads to the Seebensee (1,657m), a turquoise lake that perfectly reflects the Zugspitze (2,962m) on clear days. The adventure continues with a steep, serpentine ascent of another 300 meters to the Coburger Hütte and the moody Drachensee (Dragon Lake). The hut sits on a high rock rib, overlooking both lakes and providing one of the most dramatic mountain vistas in the Mieminger Gebirge.

The wild heart of the Rockies. Stretching over 1,100km from Waterton Lakes National Park to Kakwa Provincial Park, the Great Divide Trail (GDT) is a loosely connected series of trails, old forestry roads, and off-trail cross-country segments. It follows the Continental Divide, crossing between Alberta and British Columbia dozens of times. Unlike the well-manicured PCT or AT, the GDT is famous for its 'trail-less' sections where hikers must navigate by line-of-sight and topographical markers. It traverses some of the most spectacular and remote regions in the Canadian Rockies, through territory where bears and wolves are far more common than humans.
