  • Höhenprofil

    At the summit of the Breitspitze, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the surrounding peaks of the Silvretta and into the Montafon.

    This hike scores with its varied views of the surrounding Silvretta area, refreshing mountain lakes, and meanwhile you always have the summit cross of the Breitspitze in sight! Enjoy this silence here and the surrounding mountain scenery of the Silvretta area with its meadows, forests, and spectacular rock faces, which make it a decelerating hiking experience.

    If you still have energy, you can hike via the Vallülaalpe further to the refreshing Vallülasee, where you can cool your tired feet.

  • Directions

    Over the Kops dam, it goes slightly downhill on a walking and alpine path to the junction with the signpost “Breitspitze”. Follow the signpost, which leads you along the hiking trail past the Kopsalpe, then you will come over a path with a great view to the Ballunspitze.

    The hiking trail now takes you past some lakes on different elevation levels before the summit cross is in sight. At the summit, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view over the entire Montafon. The descent can be made towards the Breitspitzbahn and then back to the Kops reservoir.
