The Imberghaus is a cozy mountain inn right next to the mountain station, ideal for a break after the climb or a hike across the alpine pastures. Enjoy the view of the Allgäu and Bregenzerwald mountains and the valley from the terrace. It's the perfect starting or ending point for hikes and snowshoe tours around the Imberg.

A refreshment before the descent. Very nice location. If you want to challenge the Nagelfluh chain, the ideal starting point.
