Alpine Ibexes in Vorarlberg
Ibex hiking tour in Bregenzerwald
Ibexes on the Kanisfluh
For many years alpine ibexes were thought to have become extinct in the wild. Nevertheless, you can still see alpine ibexes in Austria in the Bregenzerwald. Watching alpine ibexes can be done in Vorarlberg on Mount Kanisfluh.
Mount Kanisfluh is a striking point of interest in Bregenzerwald. The rocky northern flank and the green and sunny southern slopes are the perfect haunt of these shy animals.
You can reach Mount Kanisfluh if you pass Mellau or Au. Start your hike in Mellau at the summit station of the mountain railway and walk on a gentle agricultural road. The climb starts after the Kanisalp, where a small path leads to the peak of Mount Kanisfluh. The perfect time for watching alpine ibexes, of course is dawn or dusk. It takes 3-4 hours to reach the peak and sturdy shoes are needed for this tour.
Start early in the morning and you will experience great lighting conditions for your photos!
Make a stop at the Edelweißhütte (Edelweiss Hut) and enjoy national dishes and delicious wines from Austria. Indulge in one of the culinary highlights which is called Crispy Farmers Duck – However, being such a popular dish with visitors and locals alike, it is necessary to make a reservation first - or choose stewed veal shank which is also a traditional food. For those who like it sweet, the Edelweißhütte cook can serve you delicious Kaiserschmarrn. It’s the unique and authentically original atmosphere which leads you to stay at the Edelweißhütte to relax and indulge after a long ibex hiking tour.
