Montafoner Steinschafweg

The Montafon Alpine Mosaic showcases the scenic diversity of the Montafon region. Four experiential areas—Verwall, Silvretta, Rätikon, and the valley—reveal how geology, nature, and the cultural landscape are interconnected.

Along 34 themed trails, you can discover the unique features of these diverse landscapes. Starting points, themes, and stories along the trails continually offer you new perspectives on the Montafon.

So: Choose an exploration area, lace up your hiking boots, and discover the diversity of the Montafon step by step.

Directions
From the St. Gallenkirch Tourist Information Office, walk about 50 meters toward Schruns. At the hiking signpost, follow the trail down to the Ill River. Cross the bridge to reach the other side of the river and continue hiking toward Galgenul.

Passing the Valisera Railway and following the main road, you’ll reach the turnoff toward Gargellen. After crossing the bridge over the Suggadinbach, the trail leads uphill toward Rüti. From there, continue on to Außergampaping and back to Galgenul via Neuberg.

At the Valisera cable car, follow the main road for about 200 meters over the bridge. You’ll then reach the bike and pedestrian path and follow it back toward the town center. At the first junction, turn left and you’ll arrive back in St. Gallenkirch.

The Montafon regional bus and the Montafonerbahn railway offer convenient and flexible travel throughout the valley. Trains and buses connect the towns regularly, every half hour or every hour depending on the route. You can find the right connection HERE. Bus stop at the start/end of this tour: St. Gallenkirch Center

By car:
Take the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit, then follow the Montafoner Straße L188 to St. Gallenkirch. There, turn right onto Gargellnerstraße. Parking is available at the Valisera Bahn valley station. For the hike, we recommend taking the public bus from the valley station. There are also parking spaces in the centre of St. Gallenkirch. Please note, however, that these are located in a short-stay parking zone and are therefore only suitable for shorter visits.

For the hike, we recommend wearing sturdy, ankle-high hiking boots with good traction.

If you stop by the Mathis Organic Farm, you can see if the Montafon stone sheep are in the barn right now.
