Ochsenkopf

Ochsenkopf is a mountain in the Rätikon range, situated on the border between Liechtenstein and Austria. Reaching an elevation of 2,286 meters, it is a destination for hikers and mountaineers seeking alpine views of the surrounding region.

Getting There

To reach the mountain, travelers typically head to the village of Malbun. From Vaduz city centre, you can take a local bus or drive to Malbun, which takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. From the village, the ascent to the summit is done on foot via marked hiking trails.

Time Requirement

Depending on the starting point and the hiker's pace, allow a full day for the round trip. The ascent and descent involve significant elevation gain, requiring several hours of active trekking.

When to Visit

The summit is accessible during the summer and autumn months when the trails are clear of heavy snow. In winter, the area is used for skiing and snowshoeing, but reaching the peak requires specialized equipment. Morning departures are recommended to ensure a return before weather changes common in high-altitude environments.
