Discover Tschagguns

Historic trails and local history

Tschagguns is a certified hiking village. The area can also be explored via historic routes and themed trails with a range of focuses. The old mule track led from Bludenz into the upper Montafon; Tschagguns lies along this route. This historic route gives the muleteering trade a tangible connection to the area and offers a way to explore the history of travel in the Montafon.

The Gasthof Löwen in Tschagguns bears the year 1500 and was already a transshipment point for muleteers at that time. This means that both the route of an old mule track and the historic role of goods transshipment are part of the area's story. The Maisäß landscapes in Tschagguns add another perspective: they once served as stopover points for alpine farming. The route, inn and Maisäß landscape point to different aspects of earlier uses—from travel and transshipment to alpine agriculture. If you are interested in the area's history, these connections offer a tangible point of reference.

Themed trails with different focuses

The Gauertaler AlpkulTour starts at the Grüneck mountain station of the Golmerbahn in Tschagguns. It is an educational and themed trail, an adventure trail and an interactive trail. This classification places a different emphasis than a simple distance description: the focus is on learning about the themes and interactive experiences. The start at the Grüneck mountain station is also a clear reference point for locating this tour. If you would like a hike to include informative content, the AlpkulTour is clearly designated as an educational and adventure trail.

The Kristakopf nature experience trail is located in the municipalities of Tschagguns and Vandans. It runs from the Latschau reservoir via Kristakopf and back to the reservoir. Its focus is on knowledge about natural cycles and the development of plants and animals. The route and learning content can therefore be considered together: the trail returns to the reservoir, while its themes draw attention to natural connections. In contrast to the Gauertaler AlpkulTour, the focus here is explicitly on nature, including natural cycles and the development of plants and animals.

The Gaglaweg Tschagguns is an easy, six-kilometre themed hiking trail. You can choose based on what you are looking for: if a specific distance and difficulty level matter to you, the Gaglaweg's six kilometres and easy rating are key. If you are interested in an educational and adventure experience, the AlpkulTour is designated accordingly; at Kristakopf, the focus is on nature-related content and the return route to the reservoir.
