    The hike to Muttjöchle is a beautiful summit hike that rewards you with a fantastic panoramic view in the Verwall. This leisurely hike through the Muttwald up to the summit invites you to enjoy and relax. But not only the hike to the summit becomes a pleasure, also at your stop at the Panoramagasthof Kristberg you can pamper yourself with regional delicacies in cozy Montafon atmosphere. 

    If the hike is too short for you, you can simply continue to Sonnenkopf on the Muttjöchle circular hike via the Upper and Lower Wasserstubenalpe and the Wild Ried raised bog back to Kristberg.

    You can also do this route in winter with your snowshoes. More information can be found here.

    Author’s recommendation

    The view from the terrace of the Panoramagasthof Kristberg invites you to linger and enjoy.

    Hallo Dieter, vielen Dank für deine Nachricht. Wir kommen das erste mal in die Gegend. Wissen sie welche Touren wir machen können bei dem Wetter ? Liebe Grüße

    Grüaß Di Nicole, wie Dieter bereits geschrieben hat, momentan liegt noch Schnee - hat auch gerade heute Nacht nochmal geschneit. Ich würde Euch eine Wanderung in tieferer Lage raten, da es überall auf den Gipfeln momentan Schnee haben wird. Wenn Ihr beim Kristberg bleiben wollt, dann könntet Ihr den Sagenwanderweg gehen der ist auch sehr schön. Oder Ihr geht Richtung Fritzensee am Bartholomäberg. Bis zum Kristbergsattel müsste es auch noch gehen - wobei Ihr auch daran denken müsst, dass es sehr viel geregnet hat und teils sehr rutschig sein kann, daher empfehle ich Schuhwerk mit sehr gutem Profil. Ich hoffe Ihr findet eine passende Wanderung für Euch - ansonsten könne Ihr Euch auch bei uns einer der Tourismusinformationen beraten lassen. Schöni Grüaß Hanna
