Tour description

The Sonnenkopf-Kristberg round tour connects two valleys and is accordingly diverse. From the Klostertal you get to the Sonnenkopf, from there on to the Wasserstubental. The route continues via the "Wildried" to the sunny balcony Kristberg with its great views and from there back to the Klostertal.
Description

The start of this circular tour is at the Sonnenkopf cable car in Wald am Arlberg. This is where the goods path to the Sonnenkopf begins; always stay on the main path. Once on the Sonnenkopf, you will be surprised by the fabulous "bear country" with its many attractions. Leave the area in the area of the ski lifts in a southerly direction via the steep goods path to the Obere Wasserstubenalpe. Continue through the Wasserstuben valley via the Untere Wasserstubenalpe and the Wildried in a westerly direction out to the Kristberg.
