Mellau | in the land of the ibex
mountain station cable car (Roßstelle, 1,395 m) - Kanisalpe - Kanisfluh (2,044 m) - Wurzachalpe - Kanisalpe - Roßstelle cable car
The Kanisfluh is one of the most striking mountains in the Bregenzerwald. The rocky north side is visible from the valley, the southern slopes are green and sunlit. It offers the ideal habitat for ibex as well as for 930 different species of butterfly. The first part of the hike is easy-going, and follows an agricultural path. After you have passed the Kanis alp, the ascent begins on a narrow path which takes you to the top of the Kanisfluh. To descend, take the Wurzachalpe option back down to the mountain station.
Directions
At the end of a leisurely stretch between the mountain station of Roßstelle and the Kanisalpe, you start the ascent to the Kanisfluh. In addition to a breathtaking panoramic view, with a bit of luck you will also catch sight of ibexes. On the way back to the mountain station, you pass the lovely Wurzachalpe.
