Bartholomäberg via Neyers​-​Legi to the historic mine

The start of this route is the Baroque church at Bartholomäberg. From here, an ascent begins immediately for you on the sunny balcony of the Montafon. The path steadily climbs right from the start. Don't miss the chance to let your gaze wander towards the valley or the Rätikon range again and again. It's worth it. You would miss an amazing view. High above the rooftops of Schruns, you have the opportunity to see far into the valley. On the opposite side of the valley towers the mighty Rätikon. The impressive peaks of this mountain range invite you to dream. The Drei Türme as well as Drusenfluh, Sulzfluh, and Zimba are probably the best-known peaks of this range. The picturesque landscape in which you move should also not be left unmentioned. The Fritzensee can be considered the scenic highlight of this route, presenting its beauty in every season and often used as a place to take a break.

Take the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit and continue on the Montafonerstraße L188 to St. Anton im Montafon. In St. Anton im Montafon, turn left at the height of the station and follow the signs to Bartholomäberg.
