A landscape becomes a stage. History becomes tangible. The Montafon transforms once again into a stage of a special kind: "Border Experiences on the Magic Mountain" is the new production by the ensemble teatro caprile, which has been creating impressive theatre hikes in the high mountains for more than a decade. At around 1,500 meters above sea level, below the Madrisa, 14 stations and 16 scenes await you, linking nature, contemporary history, and the present in a multi-layered way.
