Directions

The starting point of this route is at the Kristbergbahn in Silbertal. From here, you can either take the hiking bus (www.montafon.at/wanderbus) to the Lower Gaflunaalpe or walk directly from Silbertal. However, the first stage is very long and you should have very good fitness.

From Silbertal, follow the path into the inner Silbertal. The path passes the Fellimännle inn to the Lower Gaflunaalpe. From here, it continues further into the inner Silbertal. At the upper Freschalpe, continue to Langsee.

After a short break at Langsee, the path leads you into the Schönverwall. Here, head right up to the Verbellner Winterjöchli. Above the Scheid lakes, you will find the New Heilbronner Hut.

Equipment

Good, ankle-high mountain shoes with a good profile, take sufficient food and drinks, hiking poles are recommended

Tips

I recommend the first part by the hiking bus "Inner Silbertal", as this shortens the route by 8 km or 2.5 hours.
