Tour description

The Hochmontafon cannot be explored better than on this comfortable winter hike along the old railway track by the Ill to St. Gallenkirch.

There was a time when a railway line reached the remotest part of the Montafon. Specifically, between 1928 and 1953, during the construction of the power plant between Tschagguns and Partenen, a narrow-gauge railway of the Illwerke was in operation. The disused railway track today serves mostly as a driving and walking path and in winter as a hiking trail from village to village.
