    Explore the winter landscape at the foot of the distinctive Drei Türme!

    The Drei Türme play the main role in Montafon and are also often referred to as a symbol. Elegantly, they stretch into the sky like dolomites. The Drei Türme are located on the border between Austria and Switzerland and belong to the Rätikon. The Drei Türme include the small Drusenturm (2,754 m), the middle Drusenturm (2,782 m), and the large Drusenturm (2,830 m).

    What could be better than ending the day high above the valley – with a good meal and a glass of wine. I definitely recommend a stop at the Berggasthof Grabs.

  • Directions

    The route starts in Latschau at the parking lot of the fire station and along the forest edge path uphill just before Hotel Montabella. Then it continues briefly on an asphalt road to the junction. Then you turn left and follow the path slightly downhill, passing the old sawmill of Mülli-Ferdis. Shortly afterwards, you cross the Rasafei bridge over the rushing Rasafei stream. On the Gafazutweg (Aquaweg), you hike along the Ziegerberg to the junction of Ziegerbergstraße. Via Ziegerbergstraße and Grabsweg you continue uphill to the Berggasthof Grabs. Now you have reached the highest point of the hike. Here you have the opportunity to stop for a break. After the break, you hike down via Sanüel into the Gauertal. Through snowy fir forests, you reach the Gauertal. Via Volsporaweg and Gauertalweg, your round is completed at Hotel Montabella. Along the path by the forest edge, you return to the parking lot at the fire station.
