Tour description

A varied mountain hike in the Verwall region featuring some steep ascents, tranquil mountain lakes, and breathtaking views above the tree line.

On this hike, you’ll discover various aspects of the Verwall region. Above the Innerkapellalpe, the landscape opens up, offering views of the surrounding mountains. The Schwarzsee and Herzsee lakes, in particular, are impressive highlights of the tour.

There’s also a place to stop for a break: At the Innterkapellalpe, which is open to the public and features an alpine dairy, you can buy regional alpine products right on the spot. You’ll find additional places to stop for a break at the Seetalhüsli—which is only open seasonally—as well as in Silbertal.

What is the Montafon Alpine Mosaic?

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

You can find more information about the Montafon Alpine Mosaic HERE.
