    Hiking bus to the Alpengasthaus Rellstal - Lower and Upper Zualuandaalpe - Schweizertor - Verajoch - Lünersee-Alpe - Upper station Lünerseebahn

    This high mountain route offers scenic delights and leads especially in early summer through a blooming alpine garden. With some luck, you can observe many marmots partly very close.

    It is advisable to park the car at Vandans train station. There is also a boarding possibility for the Rellstal hiking bus. Since the hike ends at the Lünersee, take the public bus to Bludenz train station and from there take the Montafonerbahn towards Schruns. (Get off: Vandans train station).

  • Directions

    It is advisable to take the first hiking bus to the Alpengasthaus Rellstal. After about 45 minutes, you will reach the stop at the Alpengasthaus Rellstal. You follow the signpost and follow the alpine path (wide path) to the Lower Zaluandaalpe, which you reach after 45 minutes. You reach the upper Zaluandaalpe after another 15 minutes. Behind the upper Zalundaalpe, you choose the hiking trail and after another hour you reach the Schweizertor. From the Schweizertor, you continue hiking uphill to the Verajoch. Once there, you have reached the highest point of the fantastic hike in the Rätikon mountains. After 45 minutes, you reach the Lünersee with its turquoise blue water. Nestled in the middle of the mountain world, the idyllic natural lake is presented. The Lünersee-Alpe invites you to take another break. Along the left side of the lake, you reach the Douglasshütte or the upper station of the Lünerseebahn after just under 50 minutes. Several benches along the lake invite you to linger.
