After yesterdays activation of the ‘Galinakopf’ <\/a><\/em>(OE\/VB-287<\/a>) under perfect conditions, I selected a less challenging summit for this Sunday. The dart I threw at the map landed closest to ‘Hoch\u00e4lpele’<\/em> or OE\/VB-494 <\/a>– a summit close to the previously activated ‘Gei\u00dfkopf’<\/em><\/a>. The \u2018Hoch\u00e4lpele \u2019<\/em> is also part of the \u2018B\u00f6dele<\/em>\u2018, the landmark mountain of Dornbirn, <\/a>the largest city in the state of Vorarlberg<\/a> (Austria<\/a>). The weather forecast was promising and called for a sunny day.<\/p>\n

Trailhead: 3800 ft \/ 1158m
\nSummit:\u00a0\u00a0 4803 ft \/ 1464 m
\nElev. gain: 1010 ft \/ 308 m
\nRoundtrip: 3.0 mi \/ 4.8 km<\/p>\n

Compare this summit with my other activated summits<\/a><\/p>\n

How to get there:<\/strong>
\nTake the \u2018B\u00f6dele-Strasse\u2019 (or L48 )<\/em> from Dornbirn or take the Bus line 38 (Dornbirn -B\u00f6dele \u2013 Schwarzenberg \u2013 Bezau) which leaves every 30 minutes, starting at the Dornbirn Railway Station. Park or get out of the Bus at the ‘B\u00f6dele Passh\u00f6he<\/em>‘. The trail starts about 100 yards (100 m) south of the parking lot.<\/p>\n
