Tour description

On a well-prepared winter hiking trail, you explore the small village and learn some interesting facts about the history of the region!

The Piz Buin, the Silvretta High Alpine Road, spectacular glacier worlds. Welcome to the "Blue Silvretta" of Gaschurn and Partenen. The two places are connected not only by the impressive mountain range but also by the use of hydropower and the production of renewable energy. The three reservoirs Silvretta, Kops, and Vermunt testify to the richness of water in the high mountains.

Activity by day, lively life by night: The village center in Gaschurn impresses not only due to traditional Montafon houses but also through well-known local establishments nearby – popular with everyone in a party mood.

Two worlds that could hardly be more different, closely intertwined in Gaschurn and Partenen. The height and the valley. The activity by day, the lively life by night. The ski slope and the deckchair. The luxurious hotel bed, the simply cozy mountain hut. Energy and relaxation. In the south of Montafon you can decide anew every day.
