Tour description

A challenging mountain hike from Lake Vermunt over the Hochmadererjoch to the Tübinger Hut, taking you through rocky high mountains and over rough boulder fields right into the heart of the Silvretta.

From Lake Vermunt, you’ll first hike toward the Kromertal valley before turning off at the junction for the Tübinger Hütte into the Maderer Täli valley and ascending to the Hochmadererjoch at 2,505 meters. From there, the alpine trail continues over rocky slopes and rough boulder fields to the Tübinger Hütte. Sure-footedness, a head for heights, and alpine experience are required for this tour, which is classified as difficult.

Getting to the starting point

The Silvretta High Alpine Road is expected to remain closed until summer 2030. Therefore, in the summer, you cannot reachthe Bielerhöhe from the Montafon by car or public transportation via the High Alpine Road; instead, you must take the Vermuntbahn from Partenen and then transfer to the tunnel bus.

You can find more information here.

By Public Transportation

With the Landbus Montafon and the Montafonerbahn, you can get around the valley comfortably and flexibly. The train and bus connect the towns regularly, every half hour or hourly, depending on the route. You can find suitable connections in the cleVVVer mobil schedule app. The nearest stop is “Partenen Bergbahnen Talstation.” From there, you can reach the Vermuntbahn valley station in just a few minutes on foot.

By car

By car, drive to Partenen to the valley stations of the Vermuntbahn or Tafamuntbahn. The two valley stations are just a few minutes’ walk apart. Parking is available near the valley stations. Since parking conditions may change due to construction work, please follow the current on-site signage and check in advance for available parking spaces.

Important Information

This tour is classified as a difficult mountain hike. Especially around the Hochmadererjoch, you’ll be hiking in alpine, sometimes exposed terrain with rocky sections and large boulders. Surefootedness, a head for heights, good physical conditioning, and alpine experience are required.

Essential gear includes sturdy hiking boots with good traction, weather-appropriate clothing in layers, sun and rain protection, sufficient food and drinking water, as well as a first-aid kit, cell phone, and maps.

Tips

It’s worth taking a break at the Hochmadererjoch: At 2,505 meters, a sweeping view opens up over the Silvretta, the Verwall, and the eastern Rätikon.

If you’d like to spend the night at the Tübinger Hütte, you should reserve your spot early due to limited capacity. Also, be sure to allow plenty of extra time, as weather and trail conditions in high-alpine terrain can significantly affect the course of your hike.
