Route description

The hike will start at guest-house Verwall, which is well connected and easy to reach by bus. On the driveway, you will continue into the valley, passing the Verwall-Stausee (Verwall reservoir) on its right-hand side. Finally, you will get to the salt hut, where one will keep to the left of the Rosanna and go through a slightly forested landscape. There are two serpentines to be hiked until the tour will lead you further downhill to a stream. You'll continue through the gently ascending mountain pasture area, passing the Branntweinhütte. After having crossed the Rosanna, one will get to the Konstanzer Hütte on high ground, which is a perfect point and place to rest. The tour continues in the direction of the Schafbichljoch, respectively Friedrichshafener Hütte. You'll follow the steep path through the forest until it leads to a driveway. There you will keep to the right. The path will take you through a forest until you finally enter an open mountain pasture in the Fasultal. Parallel to the Fasulbach (stream), the tour continues into the valley, passing a hunting hut, which is directly built at a rock. Just underneath the Patteriol, the path first surmounts a small terrace and then takes you further passing the junction in the direction of Wannenjoch. And from here you will just need to cross the stream using the bridge leading to the Fasulhütte (2021 m/ 2210 yards altitude), which offers no food or beverages. From here you'll get back to the guest-house Verwall on the same path.
