Tour description

A sunny family adventure trail above the tree line, featuring exciting stops that explore the Alpine world, a restored Barga, and impressive views of Vallüla and the Kops Reservoir.

The Vier Barga Adventure Trail brings the Montafon cultural landscape to life in a playful way. Along the trail, numerous information panels provide insights into the region and its unique features, while various play areas entertain explorers of all ages.

At Nova Stoba, the Alpine world awaits with Stone Sheep, donkeys, and goats, a mud playground with a sunshade, and marble runs. This allows you to extend your hiking trip in a relaxed way and combine it with additional experiences.

What is the Montafon Alpine Mosaic?

The Montafon Alpine Mosaic showcases the scenic diversity of the Montafon region. Four thematic areas—Verwall, Silvretta, Rätikon, and the valley—illustrate 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 will 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.

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