Gaschurn: Culture, Trails and Via Ferratas

If you are looking for accommodation in Gaschurn, you can plan your stay around a variety of experiences: historical culture in the village, trails through the landscape and local history, via ferratas with different focuses, and leisure activities on the water. In addition, the high-alpine world of the Silvretta is almost on Gaschurn’s doorstep. Glaciers and distinctive peaks shape the landscape and give the village a clearly alpine setting.

Culture and local history

Gaschurn Parish Church is a historic church in the Neo-Romanesque style and was consecrated in 1869. Its altar and ceiling paintings were created by the brothers Franz and Jakob Bertle and are classified as belonging to the late Nazarene style. Next to the parish church stands the last surviving dance pavilion in the Montafon. This allows you to combine several different aspects of local history during a tour without having to focus on a single attraction.

The Gaschurn Alpine and Tourism Museum explores the alpine and tourism history of the Montafon through permanent and temporary exhibitions. For a visit in 2026, the opening hours from 16 June to 26 October are Tuesdays to Fridays and Sundays from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. This set schedule is important when planning the day of your stay.

Trails through the landscape and surroundings

The Gaglaweg trail leads through Gaschurn to historic buildings and scenic locations. The Gaschurn–Partenen–Galtür Cultural and Landscape Trail takes a broader thematic approach. It covers nature, landscape, culture, flora and fauna, thereby combining several perspectives on the surroundings. For families with pushchairs, there is the Gaschurn–Klusertobel circular tour. It starts and ends in the center of Gaschurn and leads via Klusertobel and Unter Trantrauas.

Orientation within the area can also be linked to a specific starting point: the Gaschurn Center bus stop on route 650 is the starting and ending stop of the Gaschurn Village Trail. When choosing your accommodation, therefore, consider which of these documented activities is most important for your travel plans, rather than treating all the trails as equivalent.

Via ferratas for different preferences

The Rifa via ferrata is located in the climbing garden of the same name at the Rifabecken between Gaschurn and Partenen. It is described as a well-secured beginners’ via ferrata with a difficulty rating of A/B and is also suitable for children gaining their first experience on rock. The Burg via ferrata offers a different option: it can be climbed in both directions. You can also practise via ferrata technique there all year round. The two activities should therefore not be combined into a single difficulty profile.

Leisure at Mountain Beach

The Mountain Beach leisure park has two bathing lakes with a total water surface of approximately 6,300 m². The facilities include water slides, a children’s paddling pool, a rafting course and a beach volleyball court. If not everyone in your group has the same interests, these specific facilities can complement cultural activities, trails or via ferratas. This allows you to choose accommodation in Gaschurn according to your preferred mix of sightseeing, activity and leisure.
