One year has passed and our traditional Justice tour was back on the menu. Since the chief organiser moved back to Germany so did the tour. We set off after work on Friday and arrived to Isny im Allgäu just before the brewery stopped serving food. Talk about good timing and a nice setting to make some plans 🙂
After intense planning long into the night our caravan drove all the way to Lechtal to climb the Holzgauer Wetterspitze (2895 m). We left the cars at the Lechtalhaus (1104 m), split into smaller groups and started the long but very scenic skin up the Sulzltal. And by long i mean long. You walk about 8km and only climb some 900 vertical meters to get to the Frederick-Simms Hütte (2004m) at the end of the valley. From there you still have another 900 verticals to the summit up a beautiful north facing slope. We were the only people in the entire valley and we had to lay the tracks up but that also meant we could enjoy the perfect untracked powder on the way down.
After some eight hours it was first time to enjoy the last rays of sunshine with some local sausages and cakes before heading back to Isny for a proper steak and beer. Needles to say we slept great.
