Map / Alpe Melköde
No day of rest, occasionally closed in very bad weather. Summer season: open until 15.10.2026. The Melköde is located in the Schwarzwassertal, towards Ifen - Auenhütte.
The Alpe Melköde extends on a plateau in Schwarzwassertal - one of the most beautiful spots in Kleinwalsertal - and is located at an altitude of 1,350 m. Surrounded by green hillsides in a wildly romantic waterfall, offers a breathtaking view of the Hohe Ifen (2230 m), quasi the "home mountain" of the Melköde.
