Stage 9: Supreme Stage

Edmund Graf Hütte - See, 22.00 km, 1150 m, 9.50 h

From Edmund Graf lodge we ascend in relaxed fashion and somewhat nostalgically in around 1 hour to the Kappler Joch at 2672m. Here we come full circle, we have our starting stages in sight on the opposite side of the valley, many memories come flooding back. We continue our descent to Durrichalpe, passing Blankaseen which is one of the loveliest places in the Paznaun in terms of scenery. After the following somewhat difficult ascent across the Alpine trail to the Spidur at 2120m we can enjoy a pep-up with a little beer in the Alpine inn. From the inn we ascend to the Niederjöchl at 2346m and continue to one of the loveliest ridges in the Alps on the Peziner Spitze at 2550m which will presumably be the most emotional point of our Alpine trail. From here there is only a descent to negotiate. It is not for nothing that the Peziner Spitze is known as being a superb viewing mountain, offering views to all points of the compass. We can now happily look back upon the stages weve completed. On the descent via the Kleingfall Alp to Falgeneier/ with views into the distance, and the town of See down in the valley, well not be able to stop rhapsodising and recounting so many scenes of the High Route Paznaun. Tired, happy and satisfied, in the evening we once again become immersed in the civilised world in the valley.
