The most beautiful mountain crossings in the Allgaeu

Photo: Hartmut Wimmer, Outdooractive Editors
Crossing mountains is the most demanding discipline in mountaineering as it combines the most spectacular views, maximum experience and all kinds of ascents/descents. Moreover, there are many narrow and exposed paths. Surefootedness and a good condition are required, but the experience is worth the effort!
