Hochblanken

The Hochblanken summit rises to 2068 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces within the Bregenzerwaldgebirge mountain range of Vorarlberg.

The mountain trails developed over centuries as local shepherds established paths to guide their herds between valley pastures and higher elevations.

Local mountaineering clubs maintain traditional summit registers where climbers document their ascents, following long-established Alpine customs.

The UGA-Express chairlift provides access to 1820 meters elevation, reducing the remaining climb to the summit to 248 meters.

The geological formations at Hochblanken reveal distinct layers of sedimentary rock that document millions of years of Alpine mountain formation.
