Most routes from Germany converge in Ulm and continue on the A7. At the Allgäu motorway junction, take the A980 section to the Waltenhofen exit and continue on the four-lane B19 via Sonthofen and Oberstdorf into the Kleinwalsertal. From Austria (Vorarlberg) and Switzerland, the Kleinwalsertal can be reached via the Bregenzerwald (Hittisau) – Riedberg Pass – Fischen – Oberstdorf. From Tirol, the fastest route leads via the A7 to Kempten and then on the B19 towards Oberstdorf. No motorway vignette is required for driving into the valley.

Starting point of the route: Walserbus line 1, Kanzelwand cable car bus stop

Return from: Walserbus line 1, Söllereck cable car bus stop

Paid parking spaces at the Kanzelwand cable car

If the route is undertaken from the Kanzelwand cable car at 1957 meters elevation to the Söllereck cable car, the route goes downhill. Those who prefer to go uphill can also start from the Söllereck cable car mountain station at 1360 meters elevation and hike to the higher Kanzelwand cable car.

Extremely fit and experienced hikers can also undertake the route without cable car support. Then about 17 km and over 1100 meters in ascent and descent have to be mastered. The ascent to the Kanzelwand cable car is best via the Gehrenspitze; the descent from the Söllereck cable car to Riezlern via this high trail

Flower enthusiasts should undertake the hike between June and July. During this time, the Alpine roses bloom along the route.

Especially on weekends, heavy counter-traffic and crowds at the summits can be expected in the border region; those who can plan accordingly should undertake this worthwhile hike during the week.
