Winterstaude, Mountain summit in Vorarlberg, Austria.
Winterstaude is a mountain summit in Vorarlberg that rises to 1877 meters above sea level. The peak sits within a network of marked hiking paths that offer views across the Bregenzerwald region.
Farmers have used the slopes for alpine agriculture since medieval times, shaping the landscape into pastures and meadows. This long tradition established the dairy production practices that continue in the region today.
The slopes host Alpe Wildmoos, a working alpine farm where you can find traditional cheese and butter made from cattle raised in these meadows. The farm buildings and grazing patterns shape how the landscape looks throughout the year.
Multiple hiking routes lead to the summit, with trailheads accessible from several nearby towns like Bezau. The paths are well-marked, but some sections are steep and require moderate fitness and proper mountain gear.
Metal chains are installed along the steepest sections to help climbers and improve safety on exposed terrain. These practical aids blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings of the mountain.
