Arlberg Trail St. Anton - Stuben am Arlberg

This stage of the Arlberg Trail begins with an ascent up the Galzig. From there, a wide path offering fantastic views of St. Christoph am Arlberg leads towards Passort. This is where the Berggeistweg begins. After the Valluga inn, follow the signs towards the Kaltenberghütte (trail no. 19). At the next junction, the Berggeistweg is marked on the trail signs. The route starts off gently but becomes steeper as it climbs to a saddle. With views towards Patteriol and Kaltenberg, the path continues to the Maroiseen near the Albona II lift station. A short stretch of farm track leads to the old Albonagrat mountain station (unmanned). With fantastic views of the Klostertal valley, the trail finally leads to the Kaltenberghütte at 2,089 m. After a refreshment stop, the route continues down towards the valley across meadows and moors, with views of the Flexen Pass and Zürs. Hidden away, the path descends ever more steeply past Lake Stubener See, offering magnificent views of the stage destination, Stuben am Arlberg.
