Gaschurn​-​Partenen​-​Galtür landscape trail ​(​2​-​day hike​)​

Description

On the way from Gaschurn to Galtür, visitors to the border area between Montafon and Paznaun encounter numerous documents of historical and contemporary spatial culture as well as natural-spatial peculiarities. Developments can be traced and impressively reflect the economic and social changes of recent centuries. The highlights of this hike are the Maiensäße Tafamunt, the Wiegensee, the curved dam of the Kopssee, the Alpe Verbella, the Scheidseen near the Heilbronner Hut, and the Zeinisjoch. There are also repeatedly scenic views over the Silvretta from the viewpoint at the Wiegensee and from the Heilbronner Hut into the Schönverwall as well as from the Zeinisjoch into the Paznaun Valley.

Silvretta high alpine road: panoramic road between Partenen and Galtür/Tyrol, toll road, only accessible in summer (depending on snow and weather conditions approximately from June to October).
