Hochjoch is a 2520 m peak with two gentle summit humps in the Verwall range, rising above Schruns in Montafon, Austria. Seen from the northeast, near Spullersee, it forms a neat pyramid, while from the west it appears as a broad mountain massif visible even from the Walgau valley.
This is a place with two personalities: in summer it's a hiking paradise dotted with lakes and huts, while in winter it becomes part of the well-known Silvretta Montafon ski area. Near the summit, close to Kreuzjoch, stands the Wormser Hütte, a great base for exploring the surrounding ridges. Don't miss the picturesque Herzsee below Kreuzjoch and the Schwarzsee between Hochjoch and Sennigrat.
How to reach the summitThe Kapell area below Hochjoch hosted women's Alpine Ski World Cup races in 1971, 1973 and 1975, bringing the region international fame.
