    A fantastic view and insight into the beautiful Rätikon are guaranteed on this hike!

    The Lünersee is the largest high mountain lake in Vorarlberg and therefore a special and popular excursion destination. The alpine flora around the turquoise lake, which is embedded in the Rätikon, definitely calls for a visit to the Heinrich Hueter Hut in the Rellstal.

    From the Alpengasthaus Rellstal, a hiking bus (timetable) goes back to Vandans, saving you about 8.5 km of walking.

  • Directions

    From the Douglass Hut, the hiking trail first follows the dam wall and then goes upwards to the Lünerkrinne. From here, it goes downhill towards Vandans, past the Heinrich Hueter Hut to the Alpengasthof Rellstal. From there, there are two options to hike to Vandans: either along the gravel road or on the right side of the creek via the creek path – this is recommended only for experienced hikers.

    Remember: From the Alpengasthof Rellstal, a hiking bus goes to Vandans! Please check the bus times in advance.
