The Portlahorn (also: Trangl , 2010 m above sea level ) is a mountain in the Bregenz Forest Mountains , which is located in the municipality of Damüls (about 220 m from the municipality boundary of Dornbirn). The Blue Lake is around 280 m away, the Portlaalpe around 1400 m and the Furkajoch around 3 km.
location
The Portlahorn is part of the Damülser Mountains group and a striking, pronounced, mighty summit with three ridges. The very lush vegetation with dense perennials of blueberries , alpine roses , junipers , etc., many flowers and green alder, especially on the avalanche slopes, is striking.
Adjacent peaks
In the south, about 1000 m away as the crow flies, the Portlakopf (1905), in the north, about 1300 m away, the Sünserkopf (2032), in the northwest, about 1700 m away the Sünser Spitze (2062) and in the northeast about 1600 m as the crow flies the Ragazer Blanken (2051).
hike
The closest hiking base is the Portlaalpe ( 1710 m above sea level, open only in summer) and the Freschenhaus ( 1846 m above sea level ). Other surrounding Alps (e.g. Sünser Alpe ) are only cultivated in summer.
The ascent to the Portlahorn is possible from several starting points, e.g. B. from Damüls, Oberdamüls or the Portlaalpe. The shortest route leads from the Portlalpe over the Portlafürkle towards Sünser Joch . The mountain can be climbed from the south via the Portlakopf or from the north via the Sünser Joch.
summer
The path over the Portlaalpe (near Furkajoch ) to the mountain top can be mastered in about an hour (300 meters in altitude ).
Coming from Damüls over the seven hills, the Sünserjoch on the Portlahorn, the way back can be chosen over the Alpe Oberdamüls (1667 m). This circular hike takes about five to six hours in total (about 600 meters in altitude).
winter
In winter, snowshoe tours and ski tours are popular on the Portlahorn (sometimes also at night). In January 2015, an avalanche on the northern slope claimed two lives.
Waters
Below the summit on the western and eastern, steeply sloping side, several streams arise.
