Starting Point
Gaschurn, downtown
Directions
From the tourist information office in downtown Gaschurn, start by hiking out of the valley and, at the intersection, turn slightly right uphill toward Außerbach. Passing the approximately 400-year-old Lucas-Tschofen House, the trail takes you across the road and along a hiking path to the Valschavielbach stream. The trail continues to Obere Gosta and then back into the valley toward the town center.
Continue following the trail toward Rifa and hike above Gaschurn to Richardsruhe. There, you’ll be treated to a beautiful view of the village and the surrounding peaks. At the end of Rifastraße, cross the state highway and follow the road uphill toward Untertrantrauas.
Then you’ll switch back to the hiking trail toward Gaschurn. After crossing the state highway once more, you’ll cross the bridge to the Maria Schnee Chapel and continue back to the town center. Passing the Alpine and Tourism Museum in the former early-morning chapel and the Gaschurn parish church, you’ll reach the last remaining dance pavilion in the Montafon. From there, it’s just a few steps down the valley to the starting point.
