Zimba, Mountain summit in Rätikon range, Vorarlberg, Austria

The Zimba is a 2,643 m (or 2,645 m) mountain in the Rätikon range of Vorarlberg, Austria. It has a symmetrical form with three ridges and three walls, and its summit lies on the border between Vandans and Bürs. The rock is Hauptdolomit limestone, and the normal route follows the western ridge.

The first documented ascent was made solo by Anton Neyer, a well-maker from Bludenz, either on 8 September 1848 or in August 1853. He crossed the east ridge at the notch later named Neyerscharte (about 2360 m) and climbed a south-side chimney. In August 1854 three hunters from Brand found his walking stick and a copper tin on the summit. Since 1900 the west ridge has been the normal route.

The Zimba is nicknamed the Montafon Matterhorn for its shape, its mediocre rock and the crowds on fine days. Its name appears in older literature as Cimba or Zimbaspitze. The Neyerscharte on the east ridge is named after Anton Neyer, the Bludenz well-maker who first climbed the mountain alone.

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, a notch on the east ridge at about 2,360 m, is named after Anton Neyer of Bludenz, who crossed it alone on his 1848 or 1853 first ascent. Near the summit he reportedly found a human skeleton, and he left his walking stick and a copper tin with a note on the top; three hunters sent up in August 1854 found them.
