Gargellen Mountain Railway.

The journey begins on the outskirts of Gargellen, the highest village in the Montafon (approx. 1,423 m). The Schafbergbahn’s modern 8-person gondolas glide up to the mountain station at an elevation of about 2,126 m in roughly six minutes—an easy ascent that lets you enjoy impressive views and tranquility. 

The Gargellen Mountain Railway takes you right into the heart of a landscape characterized by crisp mountain air, colorful flower meadows, and impressive rock formations. This is where your adventure begins:

• Hike to idyllic destinations such as Lake Ganda, the Riedkopf, or across to the Rätschenfluh. Along the well-marked trails, panoramic views alternate with moments of tranquility in nature.
• Family-friendly walks where even the youngest children can become great explorers.
• Mountain cart rides that offer thrills and fun over a six-kilometer stretch—an experience that brings young and old together.
• Panoramic breakfast at the Schafberghüsli, where the day begins with crispy bread, fresh regional products, and a boundless view.

When snow blankets the landscape, the mountain station transforms into a true winter wonderland. From here, you can head straight into the Gargellen ski area, which offers a variety of slopes for families, beginners, and advanced skiers. A fun park provides plenty of action, while those looking to take it easy will love the wide valley runs.

Those who prefer a more peaceful experience will find their happiness on winter hiking trails, on romantic snowshoe tours, or on an evening ski tour with a headlamp, when the mountains are bathed in a mysterious light. Away from the hustle and bustle, nature here offers that special tranquility found only in the Alps during winter.

The Gargellen Mountain Railway is more than just a means of transportation—it’s your key to authentic moments in nature. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the peaks, breathing in the scent of the mountain meadows, or returning to the valley with a smile after a thrilling go-kart ride down the slope: Up here, every day becomes a memory.

After an active day on the Gargellen mountain railway, well-deserved relaxation awaits you at the Hotel Fernblick Montafon. Take a dip in the Sky Pool, unwind in the sauna, or round out the evening with a drink at our “Glanzstück” bar—this is how activity and indulgence come together in perfect harmony.
