Winter hike Gauertal

Step by step, a magnificent view of the famous Three Towers will unfold before you. Enveloped in the stillness of winter, nature reveals its mysterious side – snow-covered forests, glistening mountain peaks and the characteristic Maisäß landscapes of the Montafon. Along the way, you’ll learn fascinating facts about the terraced farming system that has shaped the lives and work of the people in the valley for centuries. Together, we’ll set off on a peaceful winter hike, keeping our eyes open for the small details and consciously experiencing winter’s natural beauty – amidst the impressive, snow-capped mountains of the Rätikon.
