    The hike to the Gaudenzaalpe (there and back), that is only open on Sundays, takes roughly 30 minutes. During a hot summer day you can cool off in the Samina creek (it’s a 30 minute hike from Amerlügen to the creek). If you are up for a challenge, you should hike up the «Drei Schwestern» mountains (the climb requires appropriate equipment). The tour takes an additional 2.5 hours (5,6 km and 650 meters in altitude).

  • Directions

    From the parking lot a small, narrow mountain trail and signposts lead to the Feldkircher Hütte. From here you follow the ridge on a gravel road to the Amerlugalpe and the Sarojaalpe looking right at the magnificent mountain range of the «Drei Schwestern». After the Sarojaalpe you take a meadow and forest path downhill to the Plätzlehütta (hunting cabin). Via the forest road you get back to Amerlügen.
