Tour description

Take a stroll through Schruns with Erna and discover ever-changing perspectives on the main town of the Montafon region amid historic trade routes, lively market traditions, and tranquil river paths.

For centuries, Schruns has been a major hub for transportation and trade in the Montafon. Trails from the side valleys converged here; goods were exchanged, and people met one another. To this day, this tradition continues through various markets and in the lively town center.

Erna loves to wander through Schruns, on the lookout for unique scenes. On the Gaglaweg, you’ll join her as she takes you past historic buildings, along quiet paths above the town center, and down to the Litz River. Along the way, you’ll get to know Schruns from surprising perspectives.

What is a Muntafuner Gaglaweg?

In the Montafon dialect, “Muntafuner Gaglaweg” means something like “Montafon Children’s Trail.” For your adventure, you’ll need the Gaglaweg backpack. You can rent one for a deposit at one of our tourist information offices or citizen service centers. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for your hike.
A unique puzzle awaits you on every Gaglaweg trail. Once you’ve solved it, you’ll receive a small gift. You can also purchase one of eleven Erna souvenir jars at a special price of €4.00. Each trail is dedicated to a different theme and takes you through the diverse landscape of the Montafon.
So: Grab your backpack, join Erna, and set off on a journey of discovery together.
You can find more information about our Muntafun Gagla Trails HERE.
