  • Höhenprofil

    The Alfenzweg leads along the banks of the Alfenz to the valley station of the Sonnenkopf cable car and back to Klösterle am Arlberg.

    This winter hike starts at the Klostertal Tourismus tourist office in Klösterle am Arlberg. A short distance along the main road down the valley to the Engel restaurant. Turn right there and then right again shortly before the bridge. The prepared winter hiking trail now leads along the Alfenz river out of the valley to the parcel of Danöfen. In Danöfen, the trail leads below the Arlberg motorway S16 and the last stretch along the road to the valley station of the Sonnenkopf cable car. From here, return along the same path or take the bus from the Sonnenkopfbahn valley station back to Klösterle am Arlberg.
