Montafon theatre hike

a theatrical experience set against a backdrop of mountains and borders

In 2026, the Montafon will once again take centre stage: with ‘Grenzerfahrungen am Zauberberg’, the teatro caprile ensemble is presenting a new theatrical walk at around 1,500 metres above sea level, below the Madrisa. Across 14 stops and 16 scenes, nature, contemporary history and the present day intertwine. Accompanied by experienced hiking guides, you’ll hike for around five hours through the alpine landscape, repeatedly immersing yourself in condensed theatrical scenes. At the heart of the piece is the question: what does it mean to cross boundaries – physically, socially and personally? The play is performed in German, with some dialectal accents. At the start of the walk, all participants receive a programme booklet describing the individual scenes to aid understanding.

Meeting point: 09.45 am at the church entrance, opposite the Hotel Madrisa

Duration: approx. 5 hours

Age limit: 13 years and over

Refreshments: After the walk, you’ll have the chance to chat with the ensemble at Pizzeria Barga.
