Schesaplana via Mannheimer Hütte (2 days) | Brand

Description

A narrow mountain path leads you from the Innertal car park past the Palüdbach stream and the Glingabrunnen fountain, a series of springs with underground inflow from the Brandner Glacier, towards the Mannheimer Hut. The hiking trail runs through the Zalimtal valley, past the Obere Brüggele Alpe via serpentines to the Oberzalim Hut. Via the Leiberweg, a climb partly blasted into the rock, you reach the Mannheimer Hut. An overnight stay at the Mannheimer Hut is recommended. The next day, the route takes you over the Brandner Glacier (tracked, marked and generally easy to walk on) to the highest peak in the Rätikon, the Schesaplana. The descent is via the hiking trail to the Totalphütte and on a well-trodden trail (be careful in spring - snowfields!) on to the Lünersee and via the Bösen Tritt to the Schattenlaganthütte. Walk back to Brand to the Innertal car park. From the Lünersee cable car mountain station, the tour can also be shortened with the Lünersee cable car and the bus line 580.
