Sankt Gallenkirch: Routes, Montiel and Gweil-Sarottla

These include access to Silvretta Montafon, the Maisäß Route and a mountain bike trail, as well as Montiel, a Maisäß settlement, and the large Gweil-Sarottla biotope.

Getting there and planning your bus journey

The entrance to Silvretta Montafon in St. Gallenkirch can be reached by car, train or bus; parking is available at the valley stations. This information can help you plan your transport and journey to the entrance. As access conditions may change, check the operator’s latest updates before setting off. The choice of transport makes a difference: if you travel by car, parking at the valley stations is relevant; if you travel by train or bus, plan your journey to the entrance accordingly. The parking information is therefore particularly useful when planning to drive there.

For the Maisäß Route, stops on line 650 are listed at the start in the centre of St. Gallenkirch and at the end in the centre of Gortipohl. This means you can plan your journey to the start and end points separately. Check the timetable before your tour and take the relevant endpoint into account when planning your outward and return journeys.

The two transport notes answer different questions: for access to Silvretta Montafon, the relevant details are transport options and parking at the valley stations; for the Maisäß Route, they are the stops at the start and finish. If both activities are part of your stay, check connections for each specific destination.

Mountain bike trail and landscape features

A mountain bike trail starts at Silvretta Park Montafon in St. Gallenkirch and runs via Partenen, Ganifertal, the Kops Reservoir, Zeinisjoch, Galtür and Silvretta Lake to Vermunt Lake. The return route goes via Silvretta-Bielerhöhe, Galtür and the Kops Reservoir back to St. Gallenkirch. The outward and return legs are not described as following the same sequence: Galtür and the Kops Reservoir feature on both legs, while the return route also goes via Silvretta-Bielerhöhe. So for orientation, consider the entire route rather than just the turning point at Vermunt Lake. Conditions on mountain roads may vary seasonally; check the current situation before your tour.

Montiel is one of the few largely unchanged examples of a Montafon Maisäß settlement. Gweil-Sarottla is a large biotope in the landscape of Sankt Gallenkirch. The two descriptions highlight different aspects: Montiel is a specific example of a settlement, while Gweil-Sarottla is a feature of the landscape. If you take culture and landscape into account when choosing where to stay, these aspects may be worth considering alongside the routes.

Use these themes to guide your accommodation search and decide what you would like to include in your trip.
