  • Höhenprofil

    On this winter 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 of the Alps. The hike leads through the alpine pasture landscape Gauertal and ends directly at the Lindauer Hut. Hikers can expect an untouched and dreamlike winter landscape.

    This route is marked on the overview map "Aktivkarte Schnee" with the pink number 19. The map is available for free at the Montafon tourist information offices. It is recommended to bring a sled, as you can enjoy sledding from the Lindauer Hut down through the Gauertal to Latschau. You also have the option to rent a sled directly at the Lindauer Hut for a rental fee of 10.00 € per sled/day. ATTENTION, only a limited number are available.
