Tour description

Lower Gaflunaalpe - Putzkammeralpe - Staffelalpe - Gafluner Winterjöchle - Gafluna Lake - Emil-Roth-Weg - Langsee - Upper Freschalpe - Schwarzsee - Lower Freschalpe - Lower Dürrwaldalpe - Lower Gaflunaalpe

A beautiful and scenic hike in the Verwall European protected area.

Due to a rockfall, the path is closed until the end of 2025!

The European protected area, also called the Natura 2000 Verwall area on the border with Tyrol, is an important component of Vorarlberg's Natura 2000 network due to its large area and tranquility. The little-developed mountain terrain is habitat and retreat for many mountain plants and shy animals. These include chamois and the golden eagle as well as the ptarmigan and the Krautweide, the "smallest tree in the world," which only protrudes a few centimeters from the ground.

To get to the starting point, you can take the hiking bus to the Lower Gaflunaalpe.

The hiking bus to Lower Gaflunaalpe must be registered by 5:00 pm the day before at the Silbertal citizen service office. Tickets can only be purchased there or on montafon.at/wanderbus-silbertal.
