  • Höhenprofil

    On this snowshoe hike, you are surrounded by the striking Rätikon peaks Sulzfluh, Drusenfluh, and Drei Türme.

    The Gauertal with the Drei Türme is considered one of the most beautiful valley ends in the Alps. The hike leads through the hay meadow landscape Gauertal and ends directly at the Lindauer Hütte. Hikers can expect an untouched and dreamlike winter landscape.

    This route is marked with the green number 15 on the overview map "Aktivkarte Schnee." The map is available for free at the Montafon tourist information offices. It is recommended to bring a sled, as you can have a great sled ride from the Lindauer Hütte through the Gauertal down to Latschau. You also have the option to rent a sled directly at the Lindauer Hütte for a fee of €10.00 per sled/day. WARNING: only a limited number are available.
