Details

Description

Visible from the valley floor, Hohbüel proudly towers above the vast meadows of Alp Selva and thus shapes the local scenery. As a forepeak of an independent mountain range in the rear Valser valley, its central location and moderate height make it a consistently attractive viewpoint.

Hidden Gem

After a successful summit ascent, an additional highlight is a short detour to the nearby Selvasee.

Safety Note

Requirements: For experienced hikers, technically an easy route (T3), which requires caution in wet, cold, and snowy conditions near the summit.


On this hike, expect to encounter cows with calves.

Directions

From Valé either directly and steeply via Balma or somewhat more comfortably on the conventional hiking path (old Zerfreilaweg) up to Inder Bord (1472 m, 30 min). Then continue uphill through the Marcheggawald to Heinisch Stafel above the tree line (2041 m, 1 hr 15 min). From there, follow the hiking trail for 45 min towards Selvasee until Hohbüel comes into view.


Finally, hike for another 45 min off-trail over easy terrain directly towards Hohbüel and ascend comfortably to the summit via the northeast ridge with magnificent views of the surrounding Valser mountains.


On the way back (2 hrs), turn off at Heinisch Stafel and hike down the valley to Inder Peil. Take the hiking bus back to Vals.
