valley in Kleinwalsertal

Wildental

The Wildental is a narrow side valley in the Kleinwalsertal that runs south from Mittelberg toward the main alpine ridge, with a marked trail climbing to the Fluchtalpe, a mountain hut at around 1,900 meters. The valley is quieter than the main Kleinwalsertal floor, forested in the lower section and opening into high alpine meadows above the treeline.

The Wildental is a side valley in the Kleinwalsertal running south from Mittelberg toward the main alpine ridge, with a hiking trail that climbs to the Fluchtalpe mountain hut at around 1,900 meters. The trail is 3 to 4 hours return, forested in the lower section and opening into high alpine meadows above the treeline. It is one of the quieter day hikes in the Kleinwalsertal and a good way to reach proper alpine terrain without a cable car. The Fluchtalpe hut serves hot food and drink and is a natural turnaround point. The Kleinwalsertal itself is reached through Oberstdorf in Bavaria; it is Austrian territory but only accessible from Germany.
