Filters​-​View over Barthold Rank to Fritza​-​Legi

This snowshoeing route takes you on the sun balcony of the Montafon in a beautifully designed loop to very remote and quiet places. Those who like solitude away from hustle and bustle are exactly right on this route. Constantly accompanied by a dreamlike view into the valley as well as of the Montafon mountain world. Explicitly to the Rätikon, which towers in the distance. Here you can admire the mighty mountains from afar. Proudly throne the Drei Türme at the end of the Gauertal and offer themselves wonderfully as a photo subject. But also the Zimba, Drusenfluh or Sulzfluh are no less impressive than the Drei Türme. But also the immediate surroundings in which you move with your snowshoes are marked by beauty. Try to find a healthy balance between sporting activity and pleasure tour on this route.
