The “Lechtaler Höhenweg” is a spectacular high alpine ridgeway which leads on demanding paths over the main ridge of the Lechtaler Alps. The main route runs between „Stuttgarter Hütte“ and „Anhalter Hütte” at an altitude between 2000m and 2600m.

The route described here includes the ascent and descent to the “Lechtaler Höhenweg” from corresponding bus stops and parking lots in the valley. The entire track is about 79km long and has 6400m difference in altitude.

Technically easy 14ers in the Sawatch Range that are usually climbed together. Doing both car-to-car is about 11 miles with 5800' of elevation gain (according to 14ers.com).
