Description
Wonderful hike from Brandnertal to the picturesquely situated Nenzinger Himmel in the Gamperdonatal. A moderately difficult hike, with a stop for refreshments at the Innere Paprfienzalpe and the option of returning by hiking bus, make this tour a pleasant full-day undertaking in the Rätikon / Vorarlberg.

You can save part of the ascent by taking the village railway in Brand, from where you first hike to the serviced Innere Parpfienzalpe (1,524 m). Later you reach the Niggenkopf (1,589 m) via a road and continue over a long ridge of the Gulma (1,859 m) towards the Amatschonjoch (2,028 m). Below the walls of the Blankuskopf, a narrow steep path leads down to the Setschalpe (1,722 m, closed). Caution is advised in wet conditions and in spring snowfields are still possible in places. From the alp, the hiking trail still leads steeply into the beautifully situated summer village of Nenzinger Himmel. Return via the same path or by hiking bus (registration required at least 1 day in advance) to Nenzing.
