Happiness Promise
There are hundreds of thousands of guides and tour operators around the world. Figuring out who to trust is stressful and hard.
That’s why we started 10Adventures Tours, we’re here to make it easy to find a great guide or tour operator. We handpick the best local guides and tour operators for 10Adventures, working to ensure you have great guides and a great trip.
We know it sucks to show up in a different country and find out the tents are junk, the guide incompetent or the route different from what we thought we were getting.
We want to give our users peace of mind that you’ll have a great trip and offer a guarantee that we will work with you to make it right.
How does this work?
Well, if you feel that something about your trip didn’t’ meet your expectations, let us know. We will then work to gather the details and figure out where things went wrong. If something indeed wasn’t as described, or went wrong with your trip, and the problem was within the control of either oursleves, the guide or the tour company, we will then work out a refund with you that’s proportional to the scale of the problem.
Obviously the best way to make a great trip is to tell your local guide or tour operator and give them the chance to fix the solution while you are on your trip. Most things can be solved by telling your guide when the issue develops. If that doesn’t solve it, then email us right away. Please don’t wait to voice your concerns until the trip is over, as it’s much harder to solve issues after the fact.
We work hard to make sure you have a great trip. If something isn’t right, please email hello@10adventures.co and we will get to work right away.

Walk through the beautiful Bavarian region with numerous lakes
Take the first step towards a private travel experience, customized just for you.
About this tour:
What’s typically Bavarian? Beer gardens with chestnut trees and a hearty meal. Or glittering lakes with excellent water quality, perfect for cooling down. The mountains, such as the Hirschtal-Sattel, the Gindelalm, the Taubenstein and the Wendelstein, which you pass on this hiking tour, are also typically Bavarian.
After a week of hiking, you will have completely absorbed the Bavarian lifestyle between the mountains and lakes. After all, you really only get to know a region while on foot!
The hiking holiday in the south of Germany is very comfortable and, above all, very promising. Every day you experience a little bit more of Bavaria, every day a new mountain, a new alpine pasture or a new lake. Do not miss large or small bodies of water – such as the Tegernsee, Schliersee or the picturesque Spinzingsee. You won’t want to take off your hiking boots for eight days.
This well-known Bavarian small town is best discovered on a casual stroll: walk for a bit along the river Isar with the Golgotha in full view, then past the spa house into the market road. You can marvel at the beautiful houses whilst taking a break in one of the numerous pavement cafés.
After a short train journey to Lenggries, you continue along the long-distance walking trail Via Alpina to the Aueralm via the Hirschtal-col below the steep rocks of Mount Fockenstein. Enjoy a descent break with Bavarian Alpine delicacies before you continue through forests and across meadows with a wonderful long-distance view down onto Lake Tegernsee and descend to Bad Wiessee.
You walk along high-altitude paths with amazing views, to the mountain inn Galaun, then onwards to the little mountain chapel on the rock formation of Mount Riederstein, from where you have a magnificent view down to the lake and onto the surrounding mountains. Once back on the lake the Tegernsee brewery inn invites to a cool beverage, before you return with the Tegernsee-ship to Bad Wiessee.
From Tegernsee you soon reach alpine pastures via a steep forest trail surrounding the well-known Alpine beer garden Neureuth. After a break with lovely views onto the lake you casually continue your tour to the Gindelalm alp and then you descend along forest paths and forest roads to Lake Schliersees and after the marina you reach the pretty and neat spa park situated directly at the lakeside of Lake Schliersee.
Along the lakeside-adventure-path you get to Fischhausen. Then along the path‚ Bockerlbahnweg’ with numerous info points via the former forest railway, you first walk to the col‚ Spitzingsattel’ and then onwards to the picturesque Lake Spitzingsee. Walk round this nature idyll before you take a break in the historic chalet Wurzhütte’ and then return by bus to Schliersee.
A light and airy cable car ride takes you to the summit station on Mount Taubenstein. Then you walk on a high-altitude path with brilliant views to the Rotwandhaus, where you have the opportunity to climb to the peak of the Rotwand if you fancy. Onwards via the picturesque cirque‚ Großtiefentaler Kessel’ to Lake Soinsee with its idyllic location, then along alpine pastures and flowering meadows to Bayrischzell.
The King-Maximilian-path leads you past a waterfall to the Wendelstein-Alp. From there you walk all the way to the summit with its impressive meteorological observatory and along the panorama-loop-path to the Wendelstein cave with its accessible underground tunnels. After a snack in the panorama-beer garden, you take the cable car back into the valley and casually walk back to Bayrischzell.
