The varied Ellhorn hike offers surprising views of the villages on both sides of the Rhine and of the surrounding mountains. The flowering pastures in the Elltal valley are just as charming as the paths high above the Rhine.

Description

From Mäls, the path first leads us flat towards Ellhorn until in the forest the path gains altitude in some curves. Over the Ellwiesen, which are a botanical jewel with alpine plants such as fire lilies, gentians and Turk's bunch, we always climb slightly uphill to the highest point of the hike. High above the vertical rocks we enjoy surprising views of the Rhine and the Fläscher Au. Then we follow the steep mountain path through the Moxentobel down to the Rhine valley. A winding path leads us below the Ellhorn finally along the Rhine back to Mäls.

Geheimtipp

A visit to the baroque chapel Maria Hilf in Balzers/Mäls is recommended.
