Walking
The Montafon valley in the south of Vorarlberg is surrounded by three massive mountain ranges. In the north-west are the imposing limestone crags of the Rätikon; to the south loom the crystalline rocks and partially glaciated peaks of the Silvretta; forming a barrier to the north east is the Verwall massif. And running through them, backwards and forwards, up and down, is a network of well-marked footpaths ideal for walkers of all standards. The tracks lead through forests, across lush meadows, from hut to hut, past alpine inns, over hills and along ridges to the mountain peaks of the Montafon. What more could a walker wish for? Come and discover the glories of nature on a walk through the Montafon.
