Tour description

The Gypsum Trail takes you on a journey through the history of gypsum mining in St. Anton im Montafon, leading from the village up to the former gypsum mine and back down through the shady forest into the valley.

The gypsum quarry below the Davennastock still serves as a reminder of St. Anton im Montafon’s long history of mining. Gypsum was mined here for centuries before mining operations ended in 1977 and the area was restored to its natural state. Some traces of this era are still visible in the landscape today.

Along the way, you’ll gain insight into the scale of the former gypsum mining operations and can discover, among other things, the two supports of the old material cableway. The shaded forest sections and the Tränenbächle stream provide a pleasant change of pace.
