Tour description

This varied route takes you from Aktivpark Montafon via Bitschweil and the Fischkalter pond to the picturesque Tilisunaalpe and back – passing impressive landscapes.

This route combines a sporting challenge with impressive nature: from Aktivpark Montafon in Schruns-Tschagguns you start via Tschagguns to Bitschweil and continue along the reservoir to the Oberstufe Gampadels power plant, which marks the entrance to Gampadelstal. After about 10 kilometers, the Fischkalter pond at the valley station of the material cable car to Tilisunahütte invites you to a short break.

Freshly strengthened you take on the last section: the service road leads to the picturesque Tilisunaalpe, up to where mountain biking is allowed. Please note that the use of the service road is only permitted between October 16 and September 15 and only during the day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The return trip is on the same route and offers the opportunity to end the route with a stop at the cozy Bitschweil inn.

Drive on the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit and continue on Montafonerstraße L188 to Schruns. The federal road L188 leads you directly to Aktivpark Montafon, which is located on the right side of the road.

Just leave your car standing.
