St. Gallenkirch

Highlight • Settlement

Although St- Gallenkirch is "only" a small community in the Montafon, it is still one of the hippest travel destinations between Silvretta and Verwall. This is not least because you are fully prepared for tourists. Already in the 1980s, the small village with the construction of the largest cabin orbit in the world attracted attention. Here in St. Gallenkirchen you can make quite an excellent break, even if you certainly do not find the seclusion and peace of the mountains here. There are a few bike shops or rental stations, so you can get technical help in an emergency.

On the Alpe Nova, the couple of sisters Andrea and Andreas hold 65 dairy cows and handcraft the famous Sura Kees every year. Sour milk cheese is a regional specialty and has been prepared for hundreds of years from a regular recipe.

The alpine pasture is open from June to the beginning of September.
