Tour description

This hike starts at the Almwasserpark in Klösterle am Arlberg. From here, follow the Alfenz river into the valley until you reach the fork into the Nenzigasttal valley. At the signpost turn right onto the hiking trail into the Nenzigasttal. The hiking trail now leads you into the picturesque Nenzigast valley to the Alpe Nenzigast.
