Hochblanken, Mountain summit in Damülser Berge, Austria.

Hochblanken is a 2068 meter summit in the Damülser Mountains with steep rock faces, located within the Bregenzerwaldgebirge range in Vorarlberg. Access to the peak is simplified by the UGA-Express chairlift, which reaches 1820 meters and leaves only a short final climb.

The Hochblanken lies on the municipal boundary between Mellau and Damüls, on a ridge that runs from the Sünser Spitze past the Ragazer Blanken and Hohes Licht to the Damülser Mittagsspitze. The UGA Express cable car to the Ugaalpe, at about 1825 m, now opens the shortest route to the summit, a climb of roughly 245 m taking about an hour and a quarter. The peak is also a station on the Damülser Rundtour, with branches to the Sünser Spitze, the Sünser See and the Portlahorn.

Hochblanken lies on the municipal boundary between Mellau and Damüls and is one of the peaks on the Damülser Rundtour, a circular ridge route that also passes the Ragazer Blanken and the Sünser Joch. At the junctions along the ridge, hikers can branch off toward the Sünser Spitze, the Sünser See or the Portlahorn.

The mountain is best visited during stable weather, as the upper sections are exposed to rapid changes. Good hiking boots with sturdy soles are essential, and visitors should be prepared for quick shifts in conditions.

The ridge drops gently south toward Damüls as a tilted fault block, while the north side falls away in bare, craggy rock bands. From the Ugaalpe at about 1825 m, the UGA Express cable car makes the start of the climb easy to reach.
