Alpine Pasture Hike l From Gaschurn to Garneratal

The Garneratal is a south side valley of Montafon in the county of Gaschurn. Nature-loving hikers appreciate the valley’s beauty und due to its nativeness it has also served as a film set. The Alpine Pasture Garnera offers regional delicacies from early July to early September.

A good hiking path leads from the mid-station of the cableway Versettlabahn Gaschurn (1480 m) via the Maisäß Lifinar to the Alpine Pasture Garnera (1680 m) and via the Maisäß Ganeu (1400 m) back to Gaschurn. The so-called «Sennkuchi» of the Garnera dairy produces traditional and innovative dairy products from fresh alpine milk. Next to the popular traditional products such as the skimmed cheese «Sura Kees» or alpine butter, the pasture also creates new products including «Saladiner» (a tasty soft cheese), «Garnertaler Schnittkäse» (sliced cheese) or yoghurt. During a «Jause» (break from your hike) you have a chance to try and buy some of these delicacies. If you are interested in the process of making these dairy products, feel free to ask the staff. They are happy to answer all of your questions! The mountain pasture Maisäß Ganeu is located on roughly 1400 m of altitude and serves a mid-station for livestock in spring (late May to late June) and fall (mid-September to early October), depending on the weather conditions.

If you prefer mountain biking, there is a possibility to transport your bike with the cableway (Versettlabahn). http://www.garnera.at/erlebnis-wanderung/
