Mountain route to the Tschaggunser Mittagspitze (from Latschau)

Directions

The route starts at the reservoir in Latschau and leads into Gauertal up to Volspora. Once there, follow the signpost uphill to Alpilaalpe, the first steep ascent. At the uppermost hut of the alp, continue to Tobelsee. Shortly before Schwarzhornsattel, follow the white-blue-white marking “Alpine Trail” further up to the scenic Mittagspitz ridge, at the foot of the rocky summit structure. The view is especially impressive on one side into Gauertal, bounded by Tilisuna Seehorn, Weißplatte, Schwarzhorn, Geißspitze, Drei Türmen and Drusenfluh. On the ridge begins the short challenging final ascent to the Tschaggunser Mittagspitze. The sure-footed and fearless mountain hiker will be stopped by nothing on the last meters to the summit. The magnificent panoramic view into the valleys and the mountain world of Montafon makes all the climbing effort worthwhile. After a short break at lofty height, the return descent leads down to a signpost which shows a direct descent to the mountain inn Grabs over Hochegga to the right. First, the slopes of Tschaggunser Mittagspitze are crossed without altitude loss. Then, the path winds slightly up and down through shrub vegetation and preserves the view for a while on the bizarre peaks of the Rätikon, on the Golm area and the rocky tooth of Zimba, on the sunny slopes of Bartholomäberg above Innerberg to Kristberg and the Hochjoch area above Schruns up to Zamangspitze. Soon, however, the very steep descent begins, demanding full concentration again. You enter the forest and rejoin the forest road at Hochegga. Over the meadow slopes, it goes down to the mountain inn Grabs. Once there, follow the signpost back to Latschau.
