Description

From the valley station of the Alpkogelbahn cable car, first head towards the Zeinisbach stream, then take the road up to the Zeinisjoch (1,842 m, border between Tyrol and Vorarlberg). The trail then leads past the crystal-clear Zeinissee lake to the Alpine Inn Zeinisjoch (possible stop for refreshments). From there, you reach the hiking trail around the Kops Reservoir via the Kopserstraße. After almost completely circling the lake, follow the signs to the Alpkogelbahn mountain station. Optional: stop for a break at the Faulbrunn Alm lodge. Afterwards, the Alpkogelbahn cable car takes you down to the valley in a comfortable way that is easy on the joints.

Tip: Check the cable car opening times and buy a ticket in advance if necessary. 

Refreshments: Alpengasthaus Zeinis, Faulbrunn Alm
