Montafon hut circuit | Douglass Hut to Heinrich Hueter Hut
Tour description
You can save energy from the Douglass Hut to the Heinrich Hueter Hut. There is a route waiting for you where you will descend more than you ascend. Nevertheless, this stage is very varied. You move in a picturesque setting.
Approach
Coming from Feldkirch, take the Brandnertal motorway exit and follow the L82 towards Brandnertal. Passing the Brandnertal mountain lifts, you finally reach deep in the valley the Lünerseebahn. From here you must continue with the gondola to get off directly at the top by the Lünersee. The gondola exit is also your starting point of the route, the Douglass Hut.
