Tour description
Tafamunt mountain station (1550 m) - Wiegensee (1940 m) - Verbellaalpe - Zeinisjochhaus - Kops (reservoir, 1822 m) - Alpinarium Galtür
The energie.wege designed by Illwerke are a "walkable exhibition" centered around the energy.raum information center in Partenen.
In the energie.raum, the Illwerke VKW group, the use of alpine hydropower, the cultural and natural Montafon region, power plants, and electricity generation — from the beginnings to the Obervermuntwerk II project — are comprehensively presented. The energie.wege make many of these thematic areas a vivid experience.
Starting from the energie.raum in Partenen, take the energie.raum hiking map on an exploration tour: Along existing hiking routes in the inner Montafon, Silvretta, and Verwall regions, various information stations have been installed. Illustrated boards provide interesting details about specific power plants or point out sights.
Individual routes and circular route
The energie.wege are interconnected and can be flexibly combined. The energie.wege experience becomes more interesting and diverse when routes 1-3 are explored individually on different days. This way, you can spend more time on sights and excursions.
Detailed information about the energie.wege is contained in the energie.wege panoramic hiking map. This can be obtained at the tourist offices of Gaschurn and Partenen as well as at the valley stations of the Tafamunt and Vermunt railways and in the energie.raum in Partenen.
Route 2:
The path from Alpe Tafamunt to Verbellaalpe leads through the Natura 2000 Verwall area. Around the Wiegensee, there is a special moor landscape where the silting up of a mountain lake by tussock grass can be observed. Kops reservoir with arch dam. Picturesque lake, wonderful view of the peaks and glaciers of the Silvretta.
