Glatthorn

The Glatthorn peak rises to an elevation of 2,133 meters, forming a prominent landmark in the Bregenz Forest Mountains of Vorarlberg.

The mountain paths crossing Glatthorn developed during the 19th century when local farmers established routes for moving cattle between valleys.

Local mountain guides maintain traditional knowledge of Glatthorn's paths, sharing stories of Alpine farming practices with visiting hikers.

The summit trail starts at Faschina station, following marked paths through Stafelalpe and requiring approximately three and a half hours to complete.

The eastern ridge contains fixed rope sections that assist climbers during the final ascent, leading to a panoramic view of surrounding peaks.
