The Gaglaweg as a shared experience

The Gaglaweg combines the format of a circular trail with themed content. Its classification as an easy, stroller-accessible trail is particularly appealing to families who need to take different age groups and a more leisurely pace into account. The starting point is also clearly specified: the bus stop at Sankt Anton im Montafon railway station serves as the starting and finishing stop for the Gaglaweg. This information can help with daily planning if you want to include the trail as a standalone holiday experience.

The trail is also a good reason to view Sankt Anton im Montafon as more than just a place to stay. A themed trail provides a meaningful framework for being out and about, turning a walk into a tour of discovery.

Local history from iron ore mining to the parish church

The village’s history reaches back to a time when iron ore mining on the Kristberg and in Bartholomäberg played an important role. Sankt Anton im Montafon was founded during this period of iron ore mining. The village name itself is first mentioned in a document dating from 1412. This early reference makes the development of the village over the centuries tangible, without requiring a packed sightseeing itinerary.

Another historical connection leads to the parish church. In 1650, the residents of Sankt Anton im Montafon decided to rebuild the parish church in gratitude for the elevation to an independent parish, dedicated to Saint Anthony the Hermit. Anyone interested in church history and local traditions will find a tangible link to the village’s past here. The Gaglaweg and these historical connections therefore appeal to different holiday moments: shared time outdoors on the one hand, and focused engagement with local history on the other.

Waterfall via ferrata and suitable daily planning

The Waterfall Via Ferrata is located somewhat above the center of Sankt Anton im Montafon. Its location alone sets this experience apart from the stroller-accessible circular and themed trail. If you would like to include different types of activities in your travel planning, you can set aside the Gaglaweg for an easier family day and consider the Waterfall Via Ferrata as a separate option. Accommodation in Sankt Anton im Montafon provides the starting point for your personal daily planning, without requiring both experiences to be combined into a single route.
