Starting Point
Latschau Hiking Parking Lot
Directions
From the Latschau hiking parking lot, the route first takes you past the reservoir into the Gauertal valley and on to Volspora. There, follow the trail marker uphill toward Alpilaalpe. The trail now climbs steeply and takes you past the highest hut on the Alpilaalpe and on to Tobelsee.
From Lake Tobel, continue hiking toward the Schwarzhorn Saddle. Just before the saddle, switch to the white-blue-white-marked Alpine Trail, which takes you up to the panoramic Mittagspitz Ridge at the foot of the rocky summit. From here, the view extends deep into the Gauertal valley and takes in the striking peaks of the Rätikon, such as the Drei Türme, Drusenfluh, Schwarzhorn, Weißplatte, and Geißspitze.
On the ridge, the short but challenging final ascent to the Tschaggunser Mittagspitze at 2,154 meters begins. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are absolutely essential here. At the summit, a sweeping panoramic view opens up over the valleys and mountain landscapes of the Montafon.
After a break at the summit, you’ll first descend along the same route back to the signpost below the summit. From there, head toward Hochegga and the Berggasthof Grabs.
At first, you’ll traverse the slopes of the Tschaggunser Mittagspitze with only a slight loss of elevation. The narrow mountain trail winds gently up and down through alpine vegetation, offering repeated views of the Rätikon, the Zimba, the slopes of Bartholomäberg, and the Hochjoch area.
Then a very steep descent begins, which once again requires your full concentration. At Hochegga, you’ll reach a forest road and hike down across the meadow slopes to the Berggasthof Grabs. From there, follow the signs back to Latschau.
