  • Directions

    Take the bus to Damüls to the Uga Express valley station (journey time approx. 40 minutes depending on the departure time). You will find the Berggasthof Elsenalpstube right next the top station. From the mountain station you can easily reach the nearby Ugaalpe (1800 m), an old Walser alpine settlement. The path leads down to the Argenalpen and over the Gautschrofen (1850 m) you reach a steeper path on the other side of the mountain. Between the impressive Kanisfluh (2044 m) and the “Klippern” (2066 m) we cross to the Mellauer side. In the vast alpine area, you will find the Oberealpe, Wurzachalpe and Kanisalpe close to one another. On a narrow, well-laid path you reach the top station of the Mellaubahn. Descent with the new 10-seater gondola to Mellau.
