August 16, 2025,WT Gantakopf + Alpe Nova 16.08.2025

Procedure for the section's September excursion in Montafon.
Here: From St. Gallenkirch, take the Garfreschabahn cable car up and through Garfrescha to the Gantakopf—also called Gantekopf, 1958 m high. From the summit, there are good views of Gaschurn and Partenen. Surefootedness and good tread are required for the ascent. T1 - T2.
Shortly below the "Nova Stoba" refreshment stop, we …

August 30, 2024,Das ist der Weg: Gantakopf Rundweg über die schöne Rinderalpe Nova

The tour starts off very fun with the old Gafrescha chairlift. Leaving the town quickly behind us, a fairly steep but very beautiful path leads up to the Gantakopf. On the way, you may come across wimpy hikers trekking down from Nova Stoba 😉
Behind the Gantakopf, leave the Alpe Nova Stoba on the left and keep to the right …

September 16, 2023,"alpiner Weg zum Oktoberfest" - Nova Stoba - Gantakopf - Garfrescha - Alpe Nova

Oktoberfest on Nova Stoba

Very promising alpine round to the Verwall, the Silvretta and the Rätikon!

From the Versettla mountain station with brass music over the Gantakopf through blueberries, a steep, rooty descent to Garfrescha.
Relaxed climb along the rushing stream to Alpe Nova. This means there is little ascent on the piste road. Numerous marmots along the way.

August 8, 2023,🇦🇹 Montafon: Panoramaweg Gantakopf

Finally Sun! We start at the Alpenhotel Garfrescha and take the steep path through the forest to the Gantakopf. Komoot said goodbye at the beginning of the tour, so the time and km information are not quite correct. The ascent lets us breathe a lot, but at the top we are rewarded with a spectacular all-round view. We continue to …

June 10, 2023,Montafon: Panoramarundweg Gantakopf 🤩🏔️🏞🌤️

After the Madrisella summit route didn't completely convince us last year, we gave the other side the chance based on this experience. There is one word about the Gantakopf panorama trail that says it all: Wow! 🤩🏞
The landscape is great and it's turned around so that you walk down the gravel path, which seems miserably long from below, down …

Unfortunately there were two "air lines" again 🤔, hence the screenshot of Peter's recording 😉

August 8, 2025,Von Garfrescha auf den Gantakopf 🇦🇹

We spontaneously visited friends in Schruns, enjoyed a delicious meal at the Josefsheim last night, and today went on a wonderful hike in the Silvretta in glorious weather. It was difficult to choose, with so many beautiful options, and ultimately it was Gantakopf or Madrisella.
From the mountain village of Garfescha, we headed to Gantakopf. From the high trail there, …

Unfortunately komoot messed up ALL photos this time! 😬

The tour was a suggestion from touren.montafon.at
"Unfortunately" we only found the part up to the Nova Stoba nice and interesting. The path was varied, partly a bit sweaty (😉) and shortly before the Gantekopf came the foresight.
From the Nova Stoba onwards, "mass tourism" set in and the quiet was …
