    A comfortable and well prepared winter hiking trail leads you over a high plateau to the Flexenpass (1.773m).

    Starting from the Trittkopfbahn, follow the path towards the Flexenpass, which is perfectly adapted to the terrain. The southern orientation of the path and the many rest benches invite you to take a break and enjoy the sunset. After a generous loop, you return to Zürs am Arlberg on the same path.

    A stop at the rustic, cosy Flexenhäusl directly on top of the pass will put you in a good mood and after a refreshment the way home is child's play.
