Zimba

Zimba is a 2643-meter mountain in the Rätikon range located in Vorarlberg, featuring distinctive limestone cliffs and steep terrain. The rock formations create several different climbing routes across the alpine landscape.

The limestone formations that make up this mountain developed over millions of years through geological processes. These rock layers tell the story of how the Rätikon range was shaped over deep time.

The summit draws climbers from nearby villages who gather here to share skills and enjoy the alpine environment together. This mountain has become a meeting point for the local climbing community across generations.

Two main climbing routes lead to the summit: one from Sarotla hut via Steintäli and Neyerscharte, the other from Heinrich Hueter hut to Zimbajoch. Both paths require proper alpine gear and experience with exposed terrain.

The Neyerscharte route reaches 2300 meters and offers a less direct climbing approach across the mountain's ridges. Climbers often choose this path for the variety of terrain and ridge-walking experience it provides.
