Zamangspitze summit path

From the mountain station of the Hochalpila Bahn, you head towards Kreuzjoch. Here the path is still very wide and you see many beautiful viewpoints on the left side for a great photo. Eventually, you see the mountain station of the Panorama Bahn. Right behind it, the path leads you to Kreuzjoch. Once at the top, you can almost overlook the entire Montafon. And you can already see your next destination, the Zamangspitze. The path now goes back down from Kreuzjoch along the same route and over a beautiful panoramic path towards Zamangspitze. Eventually, you reach a junction where the path leads directly over an alpine trail to Zamangspitze. This trail is very exposed and only partially secured with a wire rope. Alpine experience, surefootedness, and a head for heights are an absolute must for this alpine trail. Therefore, I recommend you take the path to the right and walk around under the summit, taking the easier path on the other side of the summit. Once at the top, the Zamangspitze invites you to linger. Then back down the way. Now you always follow the path towards Zamangalpe. Once you arrive at Zamangalpe, you continue on the alpine path back to the Grasjoch Bahn.

Good footwear and appropriate clothing are absolutely necessary. Surefootedness and a head for heights required.

Valisera Bahn valley station

The described route is only possible on the operating days of the Grasjoch and Hochalpila Bahn. Alternatively, you can start from the Sennigrat mountain station and then go via Zamangalpe to St. Gallenkirch. This will extend your tour by about 3 hours of walking time. You can find the Bahn's opening hours here.

A visit to the Wormer Hut is always worth a short detour.
