Tour description

This route takes you from Aktivpark Montafon via the idyllic Ganeu service road to the Grüneck mountain station and back through picturesque places like Latschau and Bitschweil – with varied landscapes and cozy places to stop.

You start your route from Aktivpark Montafon in Schruns-Tschagguns with a relaxed warm-up phase on the cycle path towards Vandans. The Ganeu service road leads you into a world of silence and serenity – past dense forests, lush meadows, and the traditional maize huts of the region. Here you can experience the original Montafon cultural landscape in a particularly intense way.

A last opportunity to stop before the highest point of the tour, the Grüneck mountain station, is offered by Haus Matschwitz in the idyllic maize hut settlement of the same name. The return route from Grüneck follows the well-known trail to Matschwitz and continues through the picturesque places Latschau, Ziegerberg, and Bitschweil (with the inviting Bitschweil inn), until you finally reach Aktivpark Montafon again.

Please note that descending into the Gauertal is not permitted. Careful treatment of nature and observance of the rules help preserve the uniqueness of this landscape.
