Walmendingerhorn | Kleinwalsertal

Five enjoyable minutes in a floating state. From 1,200 to almost 2,000 metres – a feeling of flying over the Heuberggrat ridge – breathtaking. Many paths lead to the "Horn" – well-developed or on narrow paths. The easiest way is certainly to take the Walmendingerhornbahn cable car. No matter how you reach the summit: once you reach the top, the viewing platform opens up a panorama that will leave you in awe. Only 50 metres in altitude separate you from the summit, which is easy to reach via a well-developed hiking trail. In winter, perfectly groomed slopes beckon, while in summer the extensive network of hiking trails invites you to enjoy unforgettable tours. The Walmendingerhorn – a mountain of the senses that invites you to marvel and relax.

Summer on the Walmendingerhorn Experience sunrise and summit bliss

The transition from spring to summer is a true explosion of color when the Alpine world blossoms in bright colors. In early summer, the mountain is adorned with a magnificent sea of alpine roses. Numerous mountain flowers thrive on the sun-drenched south-eastern slope in pristine diversity, from the alpine pasqueflower to the gentian. The hiking trails also offer ideal conditions for a peaceful hike over the Walmendinger Alps, a panoramic hike over the Ochsenhoferscharte or an enjoyable hike over numerous farmed alps between mountain and valley. In the summer months, the popular sunrise rides start again – an unforgettable experience.

Autumn on the Walmendingerhorn Hiking on the sunny side

Autumn on the Walmendingerhorn is no less colorful. In the clear autumn air, the peaks and the surrounding mountains seem almost close enough to touch from the viewing platform. The landscape offers a unique play of colors. The Walmendingerhornbahn cable car will be operating until the beginning of November before it goes into its pre-winter maintenance period. Now there's a good chance of floating through the fog on the cable car and getting off in the sun at the top. Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy the last hikes in the glorious golden autumn light and experience the mountain in all its glory and tranquillity.

In winter, the Walmendingerhorn is transformed into a ski area for true connoisseurs. Off-piste and deep-snow skiers will also find a small but beautiful paradise here. The day's skiing doesn't just start at the Walmendingerhorn - the pistes in the Parsenn area and the lifts on the Heuberg connect Riezlern and Mittelberg and offer unlimited skiing fun. Two chairlifts extend the offer in the ski area after the cable car ride. The 15 kilometres of varied slopes lead picturesquely through the forest and offer an impressive view of the Widderstein.
