Höhenprofil

The Nenzinger Himmel («Himmel» means heaven) not only provides an impressive mountain landscape, but also numerous alpine pastures. The track leads from the beautiful isolated alpine settlement up to breathtaking heights. Step by step closer to heaven.

The alpine restaurant Gamperdona offers traditional regional meals including the ripened alpine cheese “Gamperdona” and other delicacies. If you call ahead first you get a traditional Alpjause (snack) and drinks at the Panüelalpe and Setschalpe. Different alpine products like Gamperdona alpine cheese, sour cheese, alpine butter, yoghurt, drinks and during summer homemade alpine ice cream are offered at the Alpe Gamperdona. Here, you can also take a closer look at the processes at the dairy. There also is a little shop where you can try and purchase products.

Eventful arrival via taxi busses to an isolated settlement at the border triangle of Vorarlberg – Switzerland – Liechtenstein.

The trail leads from the bus station over a forest path to the Panülalpe. Some alpine pastures provide Alpjausen (snacks) and drinks. You reach the romantic Hirschsee via the long distance trail 102 and further to the street that takes you to the Setschalpe that is managed by a Shepard. We continue on a hiking trail, partially on a road, until we arrive at the Gamerdonaalpe, Vorarlberg’s biggest Sennalpe (dairy). Via the street you get back to the starting point (bus station or Alpengasthof Gamperdona).
