Oberer Armatin-Höhenweg | Bludenz

The tour starts with a leisurely ascent with the Muttersberg cable car. The hike starts at the mountain station and leads along a forest path down to the pond and from there along the forest road towards Tiefenseesattel/Alpe Els. After approx. 1.5 km, the trail branches off into a hiking trail towards the Armatin or Oberer Armatin-Höhenweg. The hiking trail now leads through shady forests and past the Armatin and Muttersberg ravines. Shortly after the Muttersberg ravine, the trail divides into the Oberer and the normal Armatin-Höhenweg. Keep to the left here and continue the hike on the Oberer Armatin-Höhenweg. From here, the revitalised Obere Armatin-Höhenweg now leads to the Grünegg viewpoint. There you can enjoy the view towards Walgau, Altmann, Säntis and Hoher Kasten in Switzerland. The hiking trail now continues over two other smaller ravines until it joins the Furklastraße (forest road). Follow the forest road downhill until the hiking trail branches off to the right. Then change to the hiking trail and follow the hiking trail down to the moated castle. Finally, walk a short distance along the road to the starting point at the Muttersberg cable car valley station.
