Summer in Gaschurn
Be outside. Arrive. Be free.
Gaschurn lies at the end of the Montafon — where the mountains are wildest and nature most untouched. The Versettlabahn lift starts right in the village, the Ill riverside path runs through Gaschurn and the Silvretta reservoir in Partenen is just 10 minutes away. Your base camp for the perfect mountain summer.
Hiking from Gaschurn
1,000 kilometres. Three mountain ranges. Right on your doorstep.

The historic Vermunt power station, the tunnel railway to the Trominier and high-mountain hikes make Partenen the perfect day trip.

Cuisine & culture
Sura Kees, Riebel and 100 years of village music.
Gaschurn is one of the nine Montafon mountain villages — with its own identity, living tradition and Montafon warmth. The tangy Sura Kees from the surrounding alps, the traditional Riebel and fresh alpine produce shape the local cuisine. From the cattle drive in autumn and the solstice bonfires in summer to the 100-year-old village band of Gaschurn-Partenen — tradition is alive here.
