You step off the village lane and the mountains take the lead: limestone ridges cut the horizon while a cold breath from the Zugspitze pushes down the valley. Underfoot the path alternates between packed dirt, intermittent scree and green alpine grass; every turn opens a new view of walls and meadows.
