Why the Lechweg is ideal for your group hike
The Lechweg is an excellent choice for your next group trip for several reasons. One of the main advantages is the diversity of the landscape. The trail navigates through varied terrains, from alpine regions to gently rolling hills, making it appealing for both experienced hikers and beginners. The varying levels of difficulty allow you to tailor the tour to the individual needs and fitness levels of the participants.
Another advantage is the good infrastructure along the Lechweg. Numerous hiking-friendly accommodations, such as the Lechweg partner businesses, offer comfortable overnight stays and regional cuisine. The organised luggage transport ensures that you can focus entirely on hiking without having to carry heavy loads. This is particularly beneficial for groups, as it greatly simplifies the organisation.
Moreover, the Lechweg offers numerous cultural and historical sights. From the source of the Lech at Lake Formarin to the Lech falls in Füssen, there is much to explore. The highlights of the route include historical landmarks like Neuschwanstein Castle, providing a welcome break from hiking. At GoTuro, we place great value on integrating these cultural aspects into our group trips to offer you a comprehensive experience.
Provider comparison: Find the right Lechweg group tour
Planning a group trip on the Lechweg can be complex, so it's important to choose the right provider. Various companies specialise in hiking tours in this region and offer different focuses and services. Here, we present some of the best-known providers to help you make your decision easier.
Wikinger Reisen offers an 11-day guided tour from the source of the Lech to Füssen. Accommodation is in Holzgau, either at the Posthotel Lechtal or the Gasthof Bären. A special highlight is the included Lechtal Aktiv Card, which offers numerous discounts and free services.

AbenteuerWege is an official partner of the Lechweg and offers various routes with different levels of difficulty. From relaxed hikes to challenging adventures, there is something for everyone. AbenteuerWege is characterised by individual route planning and insider tips.

Other providers include TS-Touristikservice with a 10-day tour from Formarinsee to Füssen and Augustustours with an 8-day tour from Lech am Arlberg to Füssen. Both providers offer similar services to those already mentioned, although the focuses vary slightly. Compare the offers carefully to find the right group trip on the Lechweg.
The ideal route: Lechweg stages for every fitness level
The selection of the right stages is crucial for the success of your group journey on the Lechweg. The trail is divided into several sections differing in length, difficulty, and scenic beauty. At GoTuro, we help you to plan the ideal route for your group, taking into account the individual fitness levels and interests of the participants.
Some of the most popular stages and highlights are:
Formarinsee: The source of the Lech and home to ibexes. This stage is relatively easy and is well-suited for beginners.
Lech Gorge: A hike through the impressive gorge with optional use of the Steffisbahn. This stage is a bit more challenging but offers spectacular views.
Holzgau Suspension Bridge: Austria's longest suspension bridge (220m) with a panoramic trail offering breathtaking views. This stage requires surefootedness but is an unforgettable experience.
Jöchelspitze: Ascent with the Jöchelspitzbahn to the Alpenrosenweg and view from Bernhardseck. This stage is ideal for groups preferring a relaxed hike with panoramic views.
Lechfall Füssen: The end of the Lechweg with views of the royal castles Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein. This stage is a crowning finish to your group journey.
We tailor the route to the specific needs of your group. In doing so, we consider the participants' fitness levels, select suitable accommodations, and incorporate cultural highlights. This ensures your Lechweg group journey becomes an unforgettable experience.
It is important to realistically assess the daily distances and elevation changes. The täglichen Walking Distances often range between 12 and 18 km with elevation changes of 300-650m, requiring a moderate fitness level. We are happy to advise you on selecting the appropriate stages and provide tips for preparing for the hike.
Seamless Organisation: Logistics Tips for Lechweg Group Tours
A successful group trip on the Lechweg requires careful planning and organisation. At GoTuro, we support you with all logistical aspects so that you can focus entirely on the hiking experience.
An important point is the luggage transport. We organise the convenient transport of your luggage from accommodation to accommodation, ensuring you only need to carry your daypack. Please note the maximum luggage allowance, which is often limited to 20kg. The Lechweg partner establishments offer hiker-friendly hotels, inns, and guesthouses with half-board or individual catering. We help you choose the right accommodations that match your needs and budget.
For local transport, we recommend the Lechtal Bus. With the Lechtal Aktiv Card, you can use the buses free of charge and easily reach the starting points of the hikes. We are also happy to organise the transfer to the starting point, for example, to Formarinsee. Arrival can be by train or car. We advise you on the best option and provide tips for your journey.
You can optionally book an experienced guide or tour leader. They accompany your group on the hikes, offer insider tips, and ensure your safety. They are also available for individual questions and requests. With our support, your Lechweg group trip will become an unforgettable and stress-free experience.
Budget under Control: Cost Planning for Your Lechweg Group Trip
Cost planning is an important aspect when organising a group trip along the Lechweg. There are various ways to plan the trip, ranging from package deals to bespoke planning. We at GoTuro help you keep track and find the best deal for your group.
Package deals offer the advantage that many services are already included in the price, such as accommodation, meals, luggage transport, and transfers. This simplifies planning and gives you better cost control. However, with package deals, you are often less flexible and can't tailor the trip to your preferences. The costs for a 6-day tour with half-board, Lechtal Bus Transport, and a guide amount to approximately 1095€.
With bespoke planning, you have more freedom in designing the trip, but you also have to manage all the details yourself. This requires more time and effort but can also be more economical if, for example, you choose cheaper accommodations or forgo certain services. Compare the pros and cons of both options to make the best choice for your group.
Services included often encompass accommodation, meals, luggage transport, transfers, the Lechtal Aktiv Card, hiking maps, and GPS data. Note that there are often additional costs such as travel to and from the starting point, meals outside of half-board, visitor's tax, and optional activities like cable car rides. Take advantage of early booking discounts and negotiate group discounts to reduce costs. Choosing more affordable accommodations can also help keep the budget in check.
Unforgettable Moments: Tips for Your Lechweg Group Trip
To ensure your group trip on the Lechweg becomes an unforgettable experience, we at GoTuro have put together some valuable tips for you.
Start with early planning and booking to secure the best accommodations and dates. Clarify the expectations and requirements of participants in advance and inform them about the route, equipment, and difficulty level. A detailed packing list should include hiking boots, weatherproof clothing, a backpack, a water bottle, sun protection, insect repellent, and a first aid kit. The recommended equipment also includes trekking poles and B-category hiking boots.
Pay attention to the safety instructions and be mindful of the weather conditions. Familiarise yourself with the terrain and ensure that all participants have good footing and stamina. Be flexible and spontaneous, adjusting the route to suit the needs of the group if necessary. Seize the opportunity to enjoy nature and strengthen the sense of community. The strategically positioned partner hotels often offer hiker-specific information and support.
Remember that the Lechweg is a natural paradise that should be protected. Avoid litter and noise, stay on marked paths, and support local providers. Choosing sustainable accommodations and reducing the carbon footprint also contribute to environmental protection. With these tips, your Lechweg group trip will become an unforgettable and sustainable experience.
