Tour description

A high-alpine stage of the Montafon Hut Circuit over the Mittelbergjöchli and the Vergaldner Jöchli, through the Vergaldnertal Valley to Gargellen.

This stage connects the Tübinger Hütte with Gargellen and leads through the high-alpine mountain landscape surrounding the Vergaldnertal. Crossing two mountain passes offers impressive views of the surrounding mountains.

The route includes two alpine passes: the Mittelbergjöchli and the Vergaldner Jöchli, both at 2,515 meters. The tour then continues through the Vergaldnertal valley to Gargellen.

What is the Montafon Alpine Mosaic?

The Alpenmosaik Montafon brings the region’s scenic diversity to life. The four exploration areas—Verwall, Silvretta, Rätikon, and the valley—offer different perspectives on nature, the landscape, and culture.
