Crossing the entire Alpine chain from north to south is a great experience and not at all as difficult as it sounds. With the help of bus and train, you only walk the best parts from Bavarian Allgäu, with the fairytale castle Neuschwanstein, to sunny Merano in Italian South Tyrol. Along the way you follow the Way of St. James and the turquoise river Lech with expansive alpine meadows and mighty cliff walls as a backdrop. Along the way, the surroundings slowly change as you cross country borders and cultural boundaries. The famous church tower in Lake Resia welcomes you to Italy and soon the cultivations are heavy with juicy apples and promising grapevines. At the finish line in Merano you are met by palm trees, promenades and a mild, almost Mediterranean climate. It's a perfect reward after a week on some of the Alps' most beautiful trails.
Our bloggers Gunilla and Christofer chose to make this very trip in the summer of 2026. Let their stories inspire you here!

Füssen offers a charming old town center with cafés, historic buildings and proximity to the royal castles. It's well worth strolling around and perhaps managing a visit already on the first day.
