Discover Tschagguns: Trails, Alpine Culture and Nature Experiences

Tschagguns combines the history of old routes with a wide range of hiking and nature experiences. The village is situated along an old mule track that led from Bludenz into the rear Montafon valley. This historic connection shapes the character of the village just as much as the landscapes and trails that you can discover on a trip today.

Historical Traces in Tschagguns

A special point of interest is the Löwen Inn in Tschagguns. It bears the year 1500 and was already a trading post for muleteers at that time. Anyone interested in the history of Montafon and earlier forms of travel and economic activity will find a tangible link to the village’s past here.

The historic Maisäß landscapes are also part of Tschagguns’ history. They once served as stopovers for alpine farming. As such, they tell of a time when the use of the alpine landscape was closely connected with the seasonal routes of agriculture. This historical perspective adds a cultural aspect to today’s hiking experiences.

Educational Trails and Routes for Different Day Plans

The Gauertal Alpine Culture Tour begins at the Grüneck mountain station of the Golmerbahn cable car in Tschagguns. It is simultaneously an educational and themed trail, an experience trail and an interactive trail. This makes the tour suitable for anyone who wants to plan a hike not only as a route but also as an opportunity to discover and learn. The clearly defined starting point at the mountain station makes it easy to include this outing as a separate item in your daily travel plans.

The Gaglaweg Tschagguns offers another option. This easy themed trail is 6 kilometres long and invites you to go hiking. The clear information about its length and difficulty makes it easier to coordinate the trail with the other activities planned for your trip. This allows you to choose between a themed trail with a manageable stated distance and a tour focused more strongly on knowledge about nature and interaction.

Nature at Kristakopf and Practical Orientation

The Kristakopf nature experience trail is located in the municipalities of Tschagguns and Vandans. It leads from the Latschau reservoir via Kristakopf and back to the reservoir. Along the way, the trail provides information about natural cycles and the development of plants and animals. For your planning, this means that you can combine a circular route with a specific starting and return point with an engaging exploration of nature.

For the Tschagguns–Latschau–Kristakopf–Tschagguns tour, the stop for both the start and finish is located at the Tschagguns municipal office; the tour is connected to bus route 601. This information may play a role when choosing your daily itinerary. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can consider whether you would like to organise your excursions according to the respective tour start or according to the use of bus route 601.

Tschagguns is designated as a certified hiking village. For a trip with several days of hiking, the village therefore offers a clear thematic focus. At the same time, historical impressions, easier trails and experiences related to natural history can be combined. You should therefore choose your accommodation according to the travel itinerary you prefer: based on days spent on themed trails, historical discoveries or a combination of both.
