Tourbeschreibung

The Rongg via ferrata is not long but requires quite a bit of courage due to its exposure. A stop at the cozy Ronggalpe is well deserved on the way back.

Approach

Take the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit and continue on Montafonerstraße L188 to St. Gallenkirch. There you then turn right onto Gargellnerstraße and follow it to Gargellen.

Public transport

Just leave your car standing

The local buses run throughout the Montafon. The main lines run every half hour from Schruns station.

Bus stop for the start/finish of the route: Gargellen Schafbergbahn/ Line 670

Timetable: www.vmobil.at

Arrival by train to Montafon

From Bludenz station, the Montafonerbahn runs hourly (partly every half hour). There are also direct connections from Lindau (D) and from Bregenz.

Parking

Valley station Bergbahnen Gargellen

Directions

Directly opposite the Bergbahnen Gargellen parking lot, a path leads to the mountain church, passing the Hotel Madrisa via a meadow path to the start of the Rongg Waterfall via ferrata. The start is located on this meadow path just after crossing a small wooden bridge. From the parking lot, the start can be reached in about 20 minutes.

A short but impressive via ferrata that runs directly along the Rongg Waterfall. A rope bridge over the stream, a steep wall, and the roaring waterfall are the highlights. You can find more information about the difficulty levels of the via ferrata in the attached topo.

The descent leads past the scenically beautiful Ronggalpe back to the center of Gargellen.

Equipment

Complete climbing equipment (harness including via ferrata set, helmet, and gloves) as well as proper footwear (firm, ankle-high mountain boots with good tread) are absolutely necessary.

You should also always carry a backpack with provisions, sun and rain protection, and a first aid kit.

Rental option:

Via ferrata sets can be rented at the PME shop & rent directly at the valley station of the Gargellen mountain railways. You can find the opening hours of the PME shop & rent here.

Tips

The Rongg via ferrata can be optimally combined with the neighboring via ferrata through the Röbisch gorge.
