Gamsfreiheit, 2.211 m | Bludenz

The summit tour starts at the mountain station of the Muttersberg cable car. The first stage follows the alpine path to the Tiefenseesattel - here you can enjoy a magnificent view of Raggal/Marul in the Großes Walsertal Biosphere Reserve, the Kellaspitze opposite and the Rote Wand. The trail continues to Alpe Els. From Alpe Els, the ascent starts towards the summit over alpine meadows and mountain pine slopes. Finally, the steep western flank leads to the summit cross of the Gamsfreiheit at 2,211m. At the summit you are rewarded with unique panoramic views of the Rätikon (with Zimba and Schesaplana), the Silvretta, the Bregenzerwald, the Klostertal, Montafon and Brandnertal. The descent follows the same path as the ascent.
