Walk with open eyes along the way, as the path to the summit is already sprinkled with breathtaking panoramas.
The gigantic view of the Rätikon, Verwall, and Silvretta mountain groups as well as the Lechtal Alps make this route a very special experience.
Author’s recommendation
Before you take the Kristberg cable car back down to the valley, you must not miss a break with Jürgen and his team at the Panoramagasthof Kristberg. They will spoil you with wonderful delicacies. My secret tip is the Kaiserschmarren with applesauce.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

From there, follow the tracks of ski tourers and snowshoers through the Muttwald (about 1 3/4 hours to the tree line) to the summit of the Muttjöchle at 2,074 m above sea level.
After a short break, return the same way to the Kristberg cable car mountain station.
