Tourbeschreibung

Aktivpark Montafon – Schruns – Kropfen (mid-station Hochjoch Bahn) – Vorderkapellalpe - same way back

Description

At Schrunser Hausberg, the biker is immediately challenged physically. With gradients of up to 20%, it goes up to Kropfen. Then a forest path leads through beautiful woods that repeatedly offer breathtaking views into the valley and the surrounding mountain world. Families of bikers are awaited at the top station of the Hochjoch Bahn by "Hugo's Colorful Mountain World" and the Kapell restaurant. The Vorderkapellalpe is also operated during the alpine season.

Approach

Take the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit and continue on Montafonerstraße L188 to Schruns. Federal road L188 takes you directly to Aktivpark Montafon, which is located on the right side of the road.

Public transport

Just leave your car behind.

Arrival by train to Montafon

From Bludenz station, the Montafonerbahn runs hourly (sometimes every half hour). There are also direct connections from Lindau (D) and Bregenz.

Directions

At Schrunser Hausberg, the biker is immediately challenged physically. With gradients of up to 20%, it goes up to Kropfen. Then a forest path leads through beautiful woods that repeatedly offer breathtaking views into the valley and the surrounding mountain world. Families of bikers are awaited at the top station of the Hochjoch Bahn by "Hugo's Colorful Mountain World" and the Kapell restaurant. Those who want to take it easy a bit and avoid the steepest section from Schruns to Kropfen turn right at kilometer 3.5 instead of left, continuing straight on. Another option is to ascend with the Hochjoch Bahn to the mid-station. This shortens the route by 4.8 kilometers and saves 647 meters of elevation.
