Tour description

On this route, you move along historical yet also scenically outstanding paths. The enchanting view from Kristberg to the breathtaking idyll in Silbertal makes this route unforgettable for you.

From the Aktivpark in Schruns-Tschagguns, you go past the Schruns station along the rushing Litz river to Silbertal. Once there, you ascend with your mountain bike on the Kristberg cable car to the Kristberg pleasure mountain at 1,444 meters above sea level. Here you will be offered a dreamy panorama of the surrounding mountain world. Athletic riders can also manage the 555 meters of elevation on the road. From Kristberg, it goes gently uphill to the Siebenbrünnele and further to Wildried, which is the highest raised bog in Europe. In this special natural complex, you will still find highly endangered plants that are hardly surpassed in their beauty and uniqueness. Then it goes down into the Wasserstubental. At the end of this valley, there are two places to stop for refreshments (Berggasthaus Hasahüsli and Alpengasthaus Fellimännle), before returning on a gravel road - past the roaring Teufelsbach waterfall - back to Silbertal and further to Schruns.

Take the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit and continue on the Montafonerstraße L188 to Schruns. The federal road L188 leads you directly to the Aktivpark Montafon, which is located on the right side of the road.

Just leave your car at home.

Country buses operate throughout Montafon. The main lines run every half hour from Schruns station.

From there, you can easily reach the starting point of the route (or you can take the train directly to Silbertal).
