- Description

The start of the tour is at the mountain station of the Sonnenkopf cable car. From here, follow the signposts and trail markings over the Schloßboden uphill towards the Burtschasattel. This hike is accompanied by sensational panoramic views - Arlberg, Lechquellen mountains, Rätikon and the Swiss mountains always in view. From the Burtschasattel the trail now leads over a steep grassy slope and the secured final ridge to the summit (white-blue-white marking). The last stretch to the summit is very exposed and equipped with a rope belay - therefore only recommended for experienced mountain hikers who are free from vertigo. At the summit you will have a fabulous panoramic view. The descent is via the Thüringer Schafalpe and via the Höhenweg back to the mountain station of the Sonnenkopf cable car.
