Gitzistee Rock Formation

Gargellener Window

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is the actual Gargellen window, which gives the circular route its name. Rock strata that normally lie deep underground are exposed here. They form a window into a world that is hidden.

Rongg Alpe

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Rustic snack station with friendly innkeepers. Homemade meals and refreshing drinks, some from our own production (bacon, homemade sausage, buttermilk...). Delicious. 😉

Tour 1 of our vacation in the Montafon: the Gargellner windows 🏞️
The design of the hiking route has changed a lot since last year. At least at the beginning you walk right next to a stream. Really impressive! 🤩 In general, there are many highlights: The Gitzistee, panoramas, the Gargellner window, the lime kiln, Juliusruhe, to name just a …

Day 3. Heavy thunderstorms overnight 🌩️, still raining in the morning 🌦️, which stopped pretty soon. And a lot of fog haze 🌫️. So perfect for an annual greetings tour: the Gargellner windows inverted, i.e. with a different perspective and, apart from one stitch, a much more pleasant climb. 🥾
Running on the Maisäß level, laid out by the people …

In Gargellen, there's a themed trail called Gargeller Fenster (Gargeller Window) and a children's hiking trail from the Gagla Trail series. Both trails run largely the same way. We took advantage of this and were able to get to know both.
