Gargellen – where life tells its story
An entire village pulls together
Gargellen has just under 100 residents. The sense of community is strong—with the village, the natural surroundings, and the people who live here. Everything that is done is done the “Gargellen way.” For example, a beautifully designed circular hiking trail through forests and mountain meadows on the Gargellen Maisäß plateau was created by the residents of Gargellen themselves in four community workdays.
