Hochjoch Bahn, Schruns
The Hochjoch is 2520 m above sea level. A. high mountain with two weakly pronounced summit humps. In 1913 there were first plans to build a railway on the Schrunser Kapell. In autumn 1945, the two Schruns Josef Thöni and Albert Zudrell as well as the alpine writer Walther Flaig proposed the construction of a cable car from Schruns over the Kapellalpe to the Kreuzjoch summit at an altitude of 2395 m.
In 1948 the Montafoner Bergbahn GmbH was founded. In 1950, the "Vier Jahreszeitenbahn" was able to open up to the Kapell (1855 m) and in 1951 the second section (Kropfen – Kapellalpe) was put into operation. Initially, this was a chair lift and in 1966 a cable car with four pendulum cabins (basically changing at the Kropfen middle station) was built on the chapel.
The Grasjoch area has also been opened up since 1980 and further opportunities for ascent have been created with the Zamangbahn from Schruns and the Kapellbahn from Silbertal.
The Sennigratbahn chairlift, which is also in operation in summer, leads from the mountain station (Kapell) of the Hochjochbahn to the almost 2,300 m high Sennigrat. From there you need another 15 to 20 minutes on a well-developed hiking trail with little difference in altitude to the Wormser Hut.
