Montafon – Walgau round

From the Montafon into the Walgau and back via a scenic loop: This extensive bike tour connects diverse landscapes, towns, and viewpoints. Covering about 73 kilometers with an elevation gain of approximately 807 meters, the tour requires a good level of fitness, while longer, easy-to-ride sections ensure a well-balanced experience.

The starting point is the Aktivpark Montafon in Schruns-Tschagguns. From here, the route first takes you out of the valley via Vandans and Lorüns to Bludenz and on to Nüziders.

Now you’ll leave the valley floor and tackle the longer climb up toward Thüringerberg. As you gain elevation, beautiful views of the Walgau and the surrounding mountains open up. The route then continues via Schnifis to Satteins.

From there, head toward Schwarzer See, which is a great spot for a short break. The loop then leads back down via Göfis to Frastanz.

Once you arrive in the Walgau, continue along the route to Nenzing and then back toward Nüziders. From there, the loop heads once again toward the Brandnertal. At the appropriate turnoff, head toward Bürs and you’ll eventually return to Bludenz.

From Bludenz, the final leg takes you back to the Montafon. Via Lorüns and Vandans, you’ll eventually reach the Aktivpark Montafon in Schruns-Tschagguns once again.

Schwarzer See: This small mountain lake between Satteins and Göfis is the perfect spot for a break away from the larger towns.Discover the towns: Bludenz, Schnifis, Satteins, Frastanz, and Nenzing offer great opportunities to combine the tour with a stop for refreshments or a brief break.Pace Yourself: The climb toward Thüringerberg doesn’t begin until after a few kilometers. Pace yourself accordingly and make sure to bring enough food and water for the entire loop.Customize your tour: Since the route passes through several larger towns in the Walgau region, you can shorten it or tailor it to your needs at various pointsalong the way.
