    Tennis court Gortipohl (Blendolmaweg) - downstream - small clear round route

    The “Small Gortipohl Round”, formerly called School trail, is a small round route of about 500 m. It is ideal for practicing as it is undulating terrain. From this trail you can also switch to the “Big Gortipohl Round”.

    Many trails in the Inner Montafon can be reached via the connecting trail "Ill". From the "Galgenul Runde" to the "Mountain Beach Runde", this trail connects various round routes. This trail is only advertised as a connecting trail because it lies directly on the winter hiking path and does not meet our quality standards. In Montafon, the cross-country ski trails can be used free of charge.
