Tour description

The Talweg trail showcases another aspect of valley life—electricity generation—and runs along the Ill River from St. Gallenkirch through the predominantly agricultural villages all the way to Partenen.

The valley is shaped by two rivers: the Ill and the Suggadin. Like lifelines, they flow through a landscape of villages, scattered settlements, and farmland, where a diverse culture has developed over the centuries.

Today, power generation is a major economic factor in the region and has a particularly strong influence on the upper valley. At the same time, the cultural diversity of the Montafon is reflected, among other things, in the Montafon dialect, which is listed as part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.
