A circular hiking trail with history
The Gargellner Fenster are known to many as a geological feature - light-coloured limestone rocks that stand out strikingly against the darker primary rock. However, the newly initiated "Gargellner Fenster" project goes far beyond geology. It draws on the rich treasure trove of memories of the people of Gargelln and brings fascinating stories from times gone by to light. This trail is intended to provide a comprehensive insight into the different eras, so that today's Gargellen can be experienced holistically through an exciting journey through time. "Windows" are installed at historically significant locations, providing insights into the history and secrets of this special border region.
All-weather hiking trail
The themed trail is located halfway up the valley and allows you to spontaneously interrupt your hiking tour at any time. If the weather is bad and the atmosphere is foggy, you can hike for as long as you like.
Rongg Alpe
Refreshment tip
The Rong Alpe is a wonderful place to linger over cheese bread, buttermilk and a panoramic view!
AN ENTIRE VILLAGE GETS INVOLVED
As part of the "Bergdorf 2025" project and in preparation for the "Gargellner Fenster" project, the village has been working together on its appearance since May 2018. Trees were felled in a large-scale campaign to restore Gargellen's light and friendly appearance, reminiscent of earlier times. Other community activities were aimed at revitalising and building the "Gargellner-Fenster-Weg". The whole village pitched in again and generations worked hand in hand to create something unique together.
