  • Höhenprofil

    Golmerbahn mountain station (1893 m) - Platzis - Rells (1490 m) - Heinrich Hueter Hut (1766 m) - Lünerkrinne (2155 m) - Douglass Hut (Lünersee) - Brand

    The Zimba is often called the “Vorarlberg Matterhorn” because of its similar shape. This hike offers the opportunity to admire the distinctive mountain from several sides. Another attraction are the “gypsum holes” in the area of the Lünerkrinne as well as the alpine flora around the Lünersee. In general, during this hike in the Rätikon, you continuously have an incredibly beautiful panorama of the impressive mountain world of the Montafon.

    The typical sinkhole landscape above the Heinrich Hueter Hut is an attractive limestone mountain landscape.

  • Directions

    The route starts at the mountain station of the Golmerbahn and leads on a well-marked path into the Außergolm area. You reach the Alpengasthof Rellstal via the Platzisalpe, where you can stop for a break. The trail continues uphill via the forest road and some shortcuts to the Heinrich Hueter Hut, which is located at the foot of the Zimba. The ascent continues over the Gipsköpfle up to the Lünerkrinne. There you have a great view of the Lünersee, the Schesaplana, and you can enjoy the last longing glances into the Montafon before turning your back on the Montafon. From the Lünerkrinne, you can reach the mountain station of the Lünerseebahn in about 30 minutes.
