Höhenprofil

Upon arrival at the 1660 m high Seehöhe via cableway, you get a chance to enjoy the breathtaking distant view from the Baumgartenhöhe. The panoramic view is rather spectacular: Lake Constance, Germany in the Northwest, the mountains of the Austrian Kleinwalsertal in the East, Arlberg, Silvretta and Rätikon in the South and the Swiss mountains in the West.

During your hike you come across the «Lehrweg» that provides information about the historic Alps. You can also start your hike at Andelsbuch. You can take the cableway Andelsbuch-Niedere up to Niedere, the local mountain of Andelsbuchen. Experienced hikers should consider taking the route from the Stongerhöhealpe via Hasenstrick (via ferrata) to the Winterstaude and via the south side back down to the Lingenaueralpe, Sammeralpe and Stongenalpe. Additional effort: 250 m in altitude, approx. 2 hours hiking time. Experience and a good head for heights are necessary (blue/white marked track)!

The red/white marked track leads to the rockfall site (Abstuhl) to the Stongerhöhealpe and further down the valley to the Stonger Moos with the Alpine Pastures Stongen, Wildmoos and Greußing’s Wildmoos.
