Father Johann Müller from Warth was probably the first ski pioneer in Bregenzerwald. In the 1890s, he got himself skis sent from Sweden to get along easier and faster in the alpine terrain between the two parishes of Warth-Schröcken und Lech Zürs which he served. The 5-hour tour tracing the footsteps of Father Müller is accompanied by the ski guides of the Warth and Schröcken ski schools. Participants should have some practice riding in deep snow, safety gear is a must.
