Walmendinger Horn, Mountain summit in Allgäu Alps, Austria.
Walmendinger Horn is a peak in the Allgäu Alps with grassy slopes and exposed terrain stretching across the Kleinwalsertal valley. The landscape shifts between open alpine meadows and forested sections as you gain elevation.
The mountain was used for centuries by alpine farmers who drove livestock across its slopes for seasonal grazing. These historic routes form the basis of today's walking paths.
Local mountain guides organize regular group ascents to Walmendinger Horn, teaching participants about Alpine flora and geological formations during the journey.
The trail is well-marked from several starting points and requires sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing for changing conditions. Higher sections are exposed to wind and weather can shift quickly at altitude.
The summit offers clear views of 183 meters prominence, with Max Hütte mountain refuge positioned 1,286 meters east of the peak.
