  • Höhenprofil

    Walk with open eyes along the way, as the path to the summit is already sprinkled with breathtaking panoramas.

    The gigantic view of the Rätikon, Verwall, and Silvretta mountain groups as well as the Lechtal Alps make this route a very special experience.

    Before you take the Kristberg cable car back down to the valley, you must not miss a break with Jürgen and his team at the Panoramagasthof Kristberg. They will spoil you with wonderful delicacies. My secret tip is the Kaiserschmarren with applesauce.
