Seefelder Spitze — The Karwendel Crown

Rising sharply from the Seefeld plateau, the Seefelder Spitze (2,221m) is a classic peak in the Karwendel Alps. The trail from the Rosshütte cable car station follows a sustained ridge-line connecting the Seefelder Joch with the summit. The terrain is typical Karwendel: brittle limestone, narrow ridges, and significant vertical drops into the surrounding range. While the lift provides a useful head-start, the hike itself demands surefootedness and good aerobic fitness, and rewards those who complete it with a panorama spanning from the Zugspitze to the main alpine ridge.

The Troll's Tongue. Trolltunga is one of Norway's most spectacular scenic cliffs, hovering 700 meters above the Ringedalsvatnet lake. It was formed during the ice age, about 10,000 years ago, when glacial meltwater froze in the crevices of the mountain and eventually broke off large, angular blocks. The hike is as legendary as the cliff itself, taking you through high-alpine terrain, past mountain streams, and along the edge of the fjord with constant, scenic views.
