The popular ski tour mountain Grünhorn is an insider tip in summer. The Grünhorn does not bear its name in vain: the short ascent to the grass mountain over the south ridge is steep, but worth it - from 2039 m height you can see over into the Bregenzerwald and the Bodensee region. With good visibility, the big Swiss peaks are getting closer.

Turn-by-turn directions
With the Walmendingerhornbahn on the same mountain. A short descent below the panoramic lift, then right on the ridge. With easy ups and downs over the mostly spacious ridge of Muttelbergkopf and Ochsenhofer heads. At the Ochsenhofer Scharte the path crosses that leads from the Schwarzwassertal up into the gap. Continue straight ahead, then turn right over the short south ridge to the Grünhorn summit. Descend back the same south ridge, straight to the Starzeljoch and at the crossroads turn left towards Starzelalpe (not managed), steep descent in tight serpentines in the densely wooded Duratal, smooth walk to Baad.
