    Versettla Bahn mountain station (2010 m) - Matschunerjoch (2390 m) - Heimbühlweg - Heimspitze (2685 m) - Vergaldaalpe (1820 m) - Gargellen (1430 m)

    One of the most beautiful summits in Montafon. Beautiful high-altitude path to the Matschunerjoch. The last part of the ascent to the Heimspitze is over boulders (not difficult). Steep descent into the Vergaldatal. Magnificent views of the Silvretta, Rätikon, and Lechtal Alps. For those who prefer uphill, the route is recommended in the reverse direction.

    Rich alpine flora, a visit to the managed Vergaldaalpe is recommended on the descent.
