Directions

The hike starts at the sign on the Losenpasshöhe Bödele, directly at the entrance to the terrace of the Hotel Berghof Fetz. From there, walk along the sidewalk of Bödelestraße for a few meters and then turn right. On a gravel path you move in the direction of Lank via Oberlose - Hochälpele. From the "Meierei" snack station and at the same time Alpe Oberlose, the markings change to white - red - white. Follow the markings to the Hochälpelekopf. The descent also initially leads over the white - red - white markings in the direction of Schwarzenberg. On the Älpele - Alpe the markings change to yellow - white and from now on you can read Bödele on the signs.
