Tour description

A scenic mountain bike tour from Silvretta Park Montafon up to the rustic Außergweilalpe. The route starts on asphalt, then continues along a gravel farm road, climbing at a steady gradient through the forest. Along the way, beautiful views of St. Gallenkirch open up time and again. The return trip follows the same route.

The tour starts at Silvretta Park Montafon at the Valisera Bahn valley station. Follow the main road toward Gargellen and take the Eggaweg to reach a farm road that transitions from asphalt to gravel after about one kilometer. The route winds uphill through the forest in a series of switchbacks, passing a few scattered mountain settlements. Beautiful views of St. Gallenkirch open up time and again. Starting at the Gweilmaisäß, a steeper climb awaits before you reach the rustic Außergweilalpe below the Gweilspitze.

Please note: The route may only be used from June 15 through September 15 between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Since there are no places to stop for refreshments, you should bring plenty of food and drinks with you. The return trip follows the same route. The route is also well-suited for a bike-and-hike tour. From the Alpe, you can hike to destinations such as the Innergweilalpe, the Horaalpe, the Gweilspitze, or the Alpilakopf.
